Working the Technology

Since my last entry something has been preventing me from getting on my blog site - more of that learning curve to master.  I have blessed with people who will teach me the skills I need to, not just exist, but thrive in this blog world.

On to some design thoughts:

Summer always makes me think of color - it surrounds us and can brighten any day.

A few months ago I painted a wall in my living room a new color for me - va va voom - a cross between raspberry and purple.  That peaked my interest in trying a color combination on a small dresser and armoire in my kitchen.  I saw this idea in a magazine using all the colors on one color chip to repaint a dresser - from light to dark, from top to bottom - it was fun and different and a great new experiment.

Facing My Fear: Blogging

I know this is June 1 and I have not added to my blog for a few months - at one point I thought perhaps I am just not cut out for blogging but then thought, wait a minute, "I'm a MOM, I can do this" - so here we go!

The Brooks Family.

As a designer, I am learning the world of blogging and using it to inform, educate, and pass on design tips.  The pursuit of learning involved in my business keeps me striving to bring the best of the design world to my clients.

My goal is to blog weekly with all sorts of ideas about interior design and my business "Design Consulting."  I'll mention design difficulties I've helped clients maneuver through.   I'll cover all sorts of design tips, information from the pros, new products coming onto the market, and how to use accessories.  We'll even travel to gardens to look at design spaces there and see how "greens" can add life and warmth. So here we go of into the great, wide, wonderful world of design and all its mysteries.

You can also see my monthly articles in the Bowman County Pioneer. Here's what I wrote for last month: All about calligraphy.
