Comments (0) Last Week I was in Los Angeles getting caught up on the latest of all that is chic in design and visiting my favorite resources for innovative furnishings. I love to visit LA and often stay at the Hotel Bel Air. There is just something about those swans! Continue reading 'Ruhlmann at the Bel Air Hotel'»
As a professional designer, I’d like to say something about clients.
Where would we be without them? I consider my profession as a residential designer to be one of an artist, one who can only create art when it is commissioned by someone else. (The rare exception is doing small bits in my own home.) So, without clients I would not be able to produce exquisitely beautiful interiors that you see below.

Nor would I be able to push myself as an artist to keep one step ahead of trends, to combine things in an unusual way, or to search out that unusual object that makes the rest of the room just sing.

Nothing is as gratifying as when, after years of hard work, paying excruciating attention to details and struggling to stay on budget, we install a new home and the clients and their families are truly delighted with the results. The joy and the gratitude that the clients express when we have exceeded their dreams and expectations is what keeps me and my team inspired to serve the next client with a true dedication to perfection.

Over the years, I have received amazing letter and emails from clients who simply cannot believe how beautiful their home is. I keep a file of “love notes” from them, and when we are struggling with a gritty detail on a particular project, I pull out that file to reread some of the notes. In them are words like “gorgeous” “majestic” “charming” “thoughtful design” “works of art” “exceptionally beautiful” and my personal favorite, “great job…well done!” Ah, yes. It makes it all so worthwhile and keeps us digging away in the design trenches to create another beautiful home that contributes to the happiness of that particular family.

A special thank you to all my clients who have given me the opportunity to create real beauty and joy for them in their homes. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to do the work I love!
All the best to you,

I just had a minute to go through my stack of design magazines that are waiting patiently for me to give them some attention. And there I found the February edition of Italian AD (Architectural Digest). On the front cover was the following: “Trend: Design etnico”. Now, I don’t speak Italian, but I knew enough to translate that into a confirmation of my blog titled “Ethnoglamour, is it a trend?”. So now we know for sure, yes, it is a trend! And you heard it here first…….
All the best to you,
Jane
