One of
the responsibilities of a small business is to reach out to the community. One
of the ways CG Interior Design has chosen to do this is by educating our
clients and web followers about all things design. The entries you will be
reading will feature a number of different design and construction topics as
well as a real-time day-to-day, project-by-project storyline (along with extensive
photos) of how a 1933/1936 home is being designed, renovated and expanded. The
following is a sampling of a few topics that you will be reading about:
Understanding the design aesthetic and
how to learn (or sharpen) your own design skills.
Project planning: What it takes to put
together a plan from concept to creation. How to work with a designer,
architect and contractor whether you do the work yourself or not.
Vintage gold: Furnishing your space
with character. How to thoughtfully select (and edit) period pieces so your
home does not end up looking like a hurricane hit the antique mall.
Oops: Tips, secrets and lessons learned
from our mishaps plus ideas to streamline your project and avoid a trip to the
emergency room.
HGTV and managing the
"Redbull" effect of home improvement TV. Watching these shows gives
you plenty of good ideas and inspiration; just be prepared for the energy crash
when your project is not complete in seven days. Quality versus speed and the
"Monet" effect will be discussed.
