Yes, I am still an Interior Designer

People sometimes ask me if I am still "designing". The answer is "Yes, on occasion." The truth is, while I spent many years doing Interior Design full time for a couple different design firms and then went out on my own, I just don't make the time anymore to work like I did. So while I still work for old clients and help friends out when I can and take on very small jobs, I am truly focused on other things right now that are more fulfilling personally. 

I make exceptions for certain people and this was one I couldn't pass up. One of my dear friends Amy Cabrero and her family have been stationed in California for the last several years. Amy was my little sis in club out at ACU and we still have a special friendship. She and Mike got their final assignment back at "Home" as in Texas. In fact, they were going to be moving about 15 minutes from us. They bought Amy's parents house and wanted to renovate it. They bought Amy's parent's house and wanted to renovate it. They have 4 small children and a dog and although Mike is super handy and could do most of the work on the house himself, it was going to be a huge undertaking. Doing a renovation like they were wanting with 4 kids in the house was going to be no bueno. So, Amy flew in one weekend right after Easter and we spent two days working through her house. We picked tiles and carpet, paint and cabinets etc. We met with subs and got estimates and then she got on a plane and headed home. I sent her very few pictures along the way and pretty much told them "See you in June!" They were super excited to come home to a fresh new design. I am so excited how it all turned out.
