My love for interior design began with
a random obsession with dentist’s offices at the age of eight. I would draft said rooms over and over, each
one differing solely in theme. The chair would always be in the exact same
place, but its form would vary from watering can to giraffe to candy corn. The
chair was the focal point, and from there came the inspiration for the rest of
the room. The candy corn chair was surely accompanied by a lollipop stool,
marshmallow cabinets and chocolate dental instruments.
After my dental period came the hotels
and mega mansions. The blueprints were never large enough, and upon completion, they resembled unfolded road maps of taped together printing paper. I would
work on these designs for hours with my friend Ashley; much of the time was
devoted to the addition of plants. The two of us shared the philosophy that
when it came to vegetation there was no room for moderation. Empty corner?
Throw a ficus in it.
These days, my passion persists, but I no longer spend my time drafting dentist's offices and small-scale palaces. I prefer to keep a portfolio of rooms, styles and products that I have discovered via the Internet. One of my favorite types of decor is Moroccan, so I've included a couple examples of this welcoming style that embraces the warm hues of Western Africa and the blue-greens of the Mediterranean.
