House Beautiful Contest (for Blogfest 2012) : My 'A-Ha' Moment

 It came when it was least expected - isn't that always the way?

I was called to meet with a perspective Client, whom I didn't know - or even know where she got my name from.

{There was a recession going on, remember that?}

After a couple of hours discussing the design possibilities for her new/old pre-war ,

it turned out that she knew one of my past Clients!

Six degrees of separation, they say?

 ~I knew I did a great job on the past project

~ I knew I remained personally friendly with the past Client, so a great testimonial was a guarantee, but...

~ I also knew that both young professionals couldn't have had more opposite aesthetics

N O N E  the L E S S...

  I had a wonderfully calm feeling.

The type of feeling that comes with confidence.

The kind of confidence that just knows good things are straight ahead.

The feeling I get when I see a room in House Beautiful perfectly executed.

Ah the feeling of "A-ha".

The Completed House #1:

The House I just knew I could complete in a completely different look #2:

Thank you for the consideration, "House Beautiful".

You raise the bar by featuring fine home design from coast-to-coast.

Your publication is a constant source of inspiration for us all.

Hope you find the feeling, mutual.

Ciao for now,
