I met a really cool folk artist in Austin last week. If you like checking out artists, he has a website: www.patrick-earl.com called Deep Folk. I like his stuff, and enjoyed talking with him.

Picking up some new canvases tomorrow: 2 paintings need to be started! Have a line on a design client.

As I begin doing freelance design work, I am
posting some photos of my own home. I love textures, stone, iron,
contemporary color palettes and boutique styling;
specializing in color selection,accessories,
fabrics, and furniture. I am available

to assist in choosing both design elements (flooring,

paint, kitchens & baths) as well as decorative items (furniture, draperies, bedding, accessories & art).

I will post additional photos of non-copyrighted work as it is completed.

Please email me at narcissedesign@yahoo.com

for any questions or to arrange a consultation for

your design project!

Glad to be home from New York! Very excited Jim and Tara loved the paintings I did for the new house. The colors have set the tone for the rest of the house. It was fun to work on putting it all together. I didn't get to see the huge chocolate brown area rug I ordered for the Dining Room before I left, but they are sending photos. The house looks great!

Jim has commissioned a painting of his favorite guitar. I am excited to get to work on that.

Leaving for New York tomorrow (heading to Dallas today)....its going to be a long trip the kiddies. Just glad Maria is home-she starting to count as an adult, and me and her with the little ones is so much easier than just me. Maybe I'll be able to relax a bit. So much to think about on this trip. So much is Up in the Air. Where will it all land, and will I survive waiting for it to all come slowly spiraling down to settle on the ground?
