I’m getting ready for my trip tomorrow to New York City where I’ll join an elite group of interior designer bloggers invited by Brizo* to meet the fabulous designer, Jason Wu.  I am so excited!  I’ll be updating you as I experience each event, so be sure to check Facebook and Twitter.

In the meantime, I thought it might be fun (since I’ll be up in the air tomorrow) to show you some really luxurious and beautiful high altitude homes and resorts.

I hope you enjoy looking at these images as much as I do….they’re peaceful and visually stunning. If I could, I would travel to them all, but for now, I’ll keep them in my “to do” file!  Tomorrow, THIS is what I’ll be seeing!

A few weeks ago, Halie Rosenberg, a Growers guest contributing writer, contacted me. As an interior designer in Seattle, I was intrigued with her story concept for the blog, http://www.growersandnomads.com. After some conversation with Halie, I shared the story of ‘clicking’ with a client around a mutual love of cooking and the story unfolded.

A Kitchen for the Whole Family

The outcome of the conversation, Halie’s article,  related the essence of a successful client and designer relationship: listening carefully.  In this instance, I learned about the importance of family gatherings, large and small, and how the kitchen was a central feature. When I listened to my client, I immediately saw the kitchen and it’s design with two islands ( many cooks), lot of seats and  the necessary appliances.

To Halie’s question, “What element(s) turn a space into a happy home?” I answered, “A comfortable home is all about you—your lifestyle and personality that you want to express.”

If you want that perfect home for entertaining your friends and family, the team at Faith Sheridan Design Group is here to help.  206.437.8000.

This expert Seattle interior designer is delighted to see Tina Dixon acknowledged this past Sunday in the Pacific Northwest insert of the Seattle Times.  Tina is engaging, authentic and brings her own personal style to a project and I am pleased to be co-designing with her on a 900 square foot roof deck facing Lake Washington in Madison Park.

Tina’s signature is color.. not just in her plantings but in her containers.  My clients on this project embrace color as well and thus it’s a great fit and team for everyone.  At at meeting today, the team from Prestige Custom Builders, Matt and Seth, shared their vision for the ‘hardscape’.  I am eager to share this project once we get it moving.  So look for photos as construction gets started.. It will be quick as summer in Seattle will soon beckon us outdoors.

In the meantime, enjoy some of the images from Tina’s story in the Pacific Northwest Magazine.

Recently, when I visited another designer’s home, I was reminded of my affection for Majolica in general and plates in particular. She displays them in her kitchen but Majolica can be art on a wall in almost any room.  As an expert Seattle interior designer I keep my eyes alert for vintage pieces and also like mugs and pitchers.

The Majolica I refer to is, “Victorian Majolica, earthenware pottery made in 19th century Britain, Europe and the USA with molded surfaces and colorful clear lead glazes.” You can recognize Majolica by “its naturalistic plant and animal motifs molded in relief and splashed with bold color and clear glazes.”

The colors and motifs are varied as the photos indicate.  I am most attracted to the plates artfully displayed on a focal wall and used instead of a picture.  What do you think? Would you collect and display Majolica?
