We’re Showered With Design Awards

It was an amazing evening.

I was shocked as my new business partner, Carmen Thomas and I, kept hearing my name over and over at the Design Excellence Awards by KC Magazine.  I am flattered beyond flattered and oh, so humbled. It is such a joy to have my work, time, effort, ideas and dreams recognized.  No one knows how much work an interior designer REALLY does for their clients like the people in that room.

The people I would like to thank…Everyone at KC Magazine…Katie Van Luchene, Eryn Swanson, Erin Calvin, Dara Macan, Kim Tucker and all of the other wonderful people at KC Magazine.  Thank you, thank  you.

Of course too, I would like to thank my clients because if it wasn’t for their faith in me, none of the gorgeous rooms would have happened and I wouldn’t have been standing there without my umbrella.

Thank you all so much!

Yours,

Jill

Life, Crazy Life To Blame For Delaying My Posts….

….but we had ANOTHER death in the family.  That is two good men in just 4 months.  I certainly do not want to bring you down, I want to share with you what I learned:

1) If you or a loved one have been prescribed medication, take it!

2) Life really IS short, so do what you need to do to enjoy life NOW!

My wonderful Grandfather that passed. He was so dear and sweet...

My amazing and kind Father-in-Law that passed, too.... (shown here with my darling Mother-in-Law)

Surround yourself with people you love, people you admire and those that lift you up.  Celebrate together everyday and don’t delay in telling each other how you love and support each other.  Part of that joy for all of us too, is our homes.  I wish you a beautiful home full of joy…where ever you live, to receive those that mean the most to you and new friends!

Thank you for your patience with me during this difficult time.

Art To Evoke Both Sides Of The Mind: Part III

There is nothing I love more than fabulous art.  I am addicted to all kinds and love depth and meaning in them…pieces that make you think or feel.  I prefer to be moved on the left and right side of my brain to think, “Why?” and then care about the answer.  But don’t get me wrong, odd pieces can be great fun.

In the world of modern contemporary art, I think layering is essential.  It can separate the men from the boys, if you will.  Just as it took time to layer the earth to create a living masterpiece, it takes time to layer great art.

To follow are pieces created by a family of painters.  I find them very beautiful.  Can you guess who may have painted what?

If you want more info, give me a shout!
