Withinteriors

For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by interiors. I recall visiting a bank with my Gramma at a young age and being in awe of the imposing giant marble columns, the shiny marble floors, the dark ornate millwork of the teller's counter, the echo of the hollowed space. I recall a visit with my father to his friend's home and being completely enamored by the double wide zebra chaise lounge, the full mirrored wall and shaggy white area rug. From a young age I studied interiors without conscience attention, experiencing it, noticing it, relishing it, dreaming of it. So much so, I would draw floorplans as I was so fascinated by the way people navigate spaces. I was nine years old. I dream in color and can visualize spaces in 3-D in my mind. I often see the finished product in my head before you, the client, sees it on paper. A lot happened between my youth and adulthood. Influenced by my parents, a career in any form of the arts was not on the table of legitimate pursuits. I was guided down a path considered more practical by many only years later to happily exit and begin anew where my passion lies, interior design. I returned to college and obtained a second degree, a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design at the age of 44. I had never felt so connected academically, vocationally, and personally. I arrived! You may be wondering how the name WITHINTERIORS came about. I had been searching for a quote that described how I feel about the significance of interior design in people's homes. And then, I found it."What surrounds us is within us," by T.F. Hodge, this perfectly summed up my thoughts in a few words, born was WITHINTERIORS."What" surrounds us reflects who we are from the inside out, it reflects what we like, how we feel, and how we live in our spaces. Truly,"within your home resides your story!" Because I believe everyone should have homes they feel good in, rejuvenated in, and inspired by, I developed a unique approach to interior design
