When designing for myself, I often need to compromise on the level of contractor, finishes etc..I do not plan or follow the process as I would for a client. I buy what I love regardless of the period, the importance of a piece of artwork for instance. My personal space is to be lived in, with the constant influx of friends, my son's friends, pets, kids… When I design for a client, I start with floor plans, look at the light, the flow and am extremely focused. Once a presentation is approved, I start the installation process and shopping process. I practically custom design everything for my clients, from kitchen to bathrooms,  cabinetry, interior architecture, pool etc… Then I go shopping for the unique pieces that will give the house its personality, always keeping in mind the client's lifestyle and budget.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal">  </div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"> <div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">2.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 7.0pt;">    <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">  <span style="font-size: small;"><i> </i></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="color: black;">As designers, we tend to love many different styles and items.  How did you select the style for your home and why?</span></i></span></span></div><div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -.25in;"><br /></div></span> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My current home evolved over the years. We bought it sight unseen as it was love at first sight, a stone stable and carriage house that reminded me of the houses of Gascony in France. It is filled with heirloom furniture mixed with modern pieces from my Showroom. From my travel, I have brought back textiles, art, objects, furniture which are part of the home. Books are present in every room, stacked or on bookshelves. My style is eclectic with a soul…if that makes sense.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span></span></span></span></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"> <div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">3.</span><span style="font-size: 7.0pt;">  <i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">  </span></span></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i><span>How would you describe the style in each of your homes?</span></i></span></span></div><div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -.25in;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span>The common denominator in all the homes I have designed is unique, eclectic.
