| I know you have it: that page torn out of your favorite shelter magazine of the perfect room. The picture that you would like to step into, the room you would like magically transported to your house. When you don't know where to begin or how to get that look you love, we can help get you started or take the whole project in hand. It doesn't have to be a big project with major renovations. Sometimes the simple projects can be just as challenging. |

| A New Look for a New Year The words 'interior design' can have a off- putting reaction for some people. The myths surrounding design are legion and most are old hat. Interior Design today can encompass so many descriptions but I'll take the term in it's most simplistic definition: design for the interior. Now you have it in a nutshell! |
"Decorating is...really about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul."

Inspire Me! Barbara Barry
20 Ways Barbara Barry Nurtures Her Spirit
Light It is everything! It illuminates a space and lifts my spirit.
Color I love subtle shades of colors because they are soft on the eye and soul.
Form I thrill to the shape of things…from an egg to a spoon to a teacup.
My garden Nature is my biggest inspiration—mesmerizing and elegant. My garden is where I begin each
day.
The Beverly Hills Farmers’ Market I live for each Sunday when I jump out of bed and head to the bounty
that is unique to California—strawberries, avocados, ginger, flowers galore. It is endless!
Walking I do my best thinking on my walks and always come back inspired.
Yoga and Breathing I start and end my day with a series of simple poses and breath work. It connects me
back to my body and makes me feel alive.
Great Sheets It is the most restorative thing to climb into a bed of crisply ironed sheets. I feel like a princess,
and I’m grateful for all that I have.
Tea I love tea. The art of preparing it, the beautiful ways to serve it, the healthful benefit of it, and the ritual of
stopping to enjoy it.
Solitude It’s probably the most vital thing that restores my spirit. I don’t watch television or listen to much
music. I like silence…in fact, I require it.
Drawing A blank piece of paper and a sharpened pencil, and I am a happy girl.
Girlfriends From my sisters to my BFFs . . . listening and sharing heals all.
Blank Slate I love the blank canvas. Whether it is the dining table ready to be set, the dinner to be cooked, or
the design ready to be sketched. That feeling of starting is so inspiring!
Space A clean desk and an empty room—pure potential.
My Bulletin Boards I love to put up whatever inspires me on a bulletin board. I see a connectedness in the
way all beautiful things seem to relate.
Watercolors I take watercolors with me everywhere I go. It’s my way of capturing the inspired moment.
New Beginnings The minute I get a new project I feel that sense of excitement and play. It’s my favorite
moment in a project because it is filled with potential.
Family I was raised by an artist mother. It was/is everything to me—from seeing her exclaim with passion
over color and ideas to building a belief in myself that I could do the same.
Home My home is my haven, and it is a testament to my work—fresh and clean and calm.
Beautiful Process, Beautiful Product I believe food cooked with love tastes better, and design made with
care and good energy is evident.
