let us now talk about interior design and furniture making. they are
related .... i have always thought them to be separate disciplines, but in looking through my on site photos folder recently, i realized that making a piece of furniture, particularly a piece for a particular client, for a particular spot, with their design input, is more than furniture making. if you get it right, not only have you manifested their vision, but you have created for them a special place, a place where they too can see their vision. powerful stuff, when you think about it .... so, that said, i will be adding a new category to my blog, interior design, where occasionally i will post a few photos of successful collaborations
that i feel meet the criteria above.
like the sideboard above, some are from my own home
, where the realization began; others from my local clients homes.
click the photos to enlarge them ...this is one of my favorite before and after rooms ... the challenge was to take a little used guest room/fly tying spot and turn it into a husband and wife home office/fly tying spot ... lots of conversations, lots of drawings, lots of changes ... before above ...
after
we did, in the end, receive a couple of design awards for this one ...
