Rekindling Old Flames

Spotlight: Amanda Wilson of DIY design

What I enjoyed was that she is: * She was a Visual Arts Therapist, An ABA Therapist, that turned to her hidden talent of fixing things.  * She is her father’s daughter.  Learned from her dad and uses his tools at times.  That resonated with me.  How important it is to have a mentor and how it can affect your child’s life indefinitely.  * Her attitude was:  just do it and it can always be fixed.  All mistakes can be fixed.  * When designing a space….you don’t have to have figured out everything. Start with something you love, a piece of furniture or wall paper and then build around that.  * Lastly, you don’t have to start and finish the project immediately.  Sometimes great to let it simmer, sit with it a while until you realize how you will use the space.

Spotlight: Vanessa of Be In Wonder Designs

Take a listen as I chat with the incredibly talented Vanessa of Be in Wonder Design! I love how she’s merged her passion for early education with her love of design. For Vanessa, every project is deeply meaningful — she knows she’s making a powerful impact on children and their families, both now and for years to come.

Spotlight: Barette of Widell Boschetti Designs

I enjoyed my coffee chat with Barette of Widell and Boschetti Designs and learning about how she juggles life as one of the most sought out interior designers living on an alpaca farm with her husband and two kids. Did you know she used to be a professional ballerina? And you're not going to believe how much some of these alpaca's cost! Take a listen (note- unfortunately the interview ends abruptly due to some technical difficulties but nonetheless, a great conversation!)
