Golden Girls Kitchen

Sometimes my job is very funny. As an interior designer my goal is to make environments for people that are functional and beautiful. But what happens when a client doesn't want to be updated and loves what they already have? Well, sometimes my job is just making it happen. I searched high and low for the perfect "Golden Girls" fabric and I finally found it. And believe me it wasn't easy. The client needed new window treatments because her were sun rotted, not because they were out of style. Her kitchen was and is still is a perfect time capsule of 1987. I hope you can tell the before from the after.
And just so you know she was so pleased and happy, she told me, "It is like I have a brand new kitchen!" All said and done I am happy if my client is happy.

Part of my journey has been to restart my career. I practiced interior design for 3 years before I had my children and was blessed for a while to be able to stay at home with them. This month my girls and I will be starting a new chapter. I have accepted a full time position with an interior design firm in town and my girls will be starting new schools next week. This is an exciting time for all of us!

Hopefully, in the next couple weeks and months, I will be sharing with you some of my projects. For now you can have a look at the website http://www.smartinteriorsfurn.com/index.html
