Accessorizing and finishing touches for parties and holidays.
I was selected to do the design work in the kitchen and entry for the 2009 Sarasota Orchestra Designer Showcase on Siesta Key at Summer Cove. The theme was "A Concert By The Sea" inspired by the music of Erroll Garner and each designer had to choose a song that fit in with their decorating ideas to make a presentation to the board. Since I have a love and passion for all things beautiful, including Parisian and European decor, it was easy to select "Paris Impressions" as my theme song. I had everything in my shop to express energy, beauty, elegance as well as a little whimsy and cheerfulness. It was fun to work on and I made some new friends along the way. I want to thank Sarasota Orchestra for giving me the opportunity to share my design ideas and shop with others.
