Aging in Place Design for the Kitchen...

AOL Shopping interviewed me earlier this summer, where I shared some great tips for designing your kitchen, with 'aging in place' in mind. Take a look at the video clip to hear what I had to say!

A Complete Room in Three and a Half Days!!








Last week, I transformed an empty space, to a complete furnished room.....in the Miami Beach Convention Center. As part of the Design for the Stars Showcase at the Miami Home Design and Remodeling Show, I was one of 5 designers creating a room for a local media personality. My room was designed to honor Roxanne Vargas of NBC Miami. She gave me some ideas on her favorite colors, design style, and what type of room she would like. I took all of that info, and turned it into this! (link to 'Roxy's Room' on South Florida Today segment below)

It took a lot of work, but it IS possible to transform a room in just three days!! With lots of help from my contractors, family and friends....we pulled it off! I thank everyone involved for their help! It was so sad to take it all apart at the end of the show.....enjoy the photos of the finished space (courtesy of Anna-Lee DeSuze) and all the steps we went through to get there!
