Today, people are taking photos at a record pace and sharing them on Face book, Twitter and photo sharing sites. Yet people are finding they don’t have the time to print their photos or manage them digitally, so people are becoming increasingly frustrated that they are losing their important memories. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of photos that were printed languish in shoeboxes and home movies are being lost on obsolete media formats. Photos are important and are part of our most cherished possessions because they tell a story. Though we live in an increasingly complex technical world, as human beings we still have the desire to tell a story. One of the important ways we tell our stories is through photos

bulletCOLLECTIONS
bullet MEMORABILIA

I understand the mentality of a collector.  It is a very long and lonely profession unless you spouse understands it.  Collecting is a compulsion.  A collector has no sense of reality, of money, of time - just one focus.  An addiction is an emotional thing.  I will help you display the collection so you can enjoy them more since you spent so much time gathering the items.

What is old?  I will help you determine if the item should be tossed, kept or sold.  I can list the item for you on EBay and/or Craig's List after I take pictures of the item

 
Antique More than 100 years old.  Usually valuable if in excellent condition.  The condition determines the value
 
Vintage Old, but not old enough to be called antique.  Less than 100 years old
 
Collectible Prized by fanciers of that item
 
Souvenir Items brought back from places where you don't live
 
Mementos Items that only have significance to the owner or herself usually passed down by an older or deceased relative or friend
 

bulletDESIGN SERVICES
I will help you create the room you always wanted using the 8 steps of interior design:
 
  1. Paint & Architectural moldings
  2. Flooring - Tiles / Carpeting / Wood
  3. High ticket upholstered furniture and large case goods
  4. Window coverings and accent fabrics and area rugs
  5. Accent furniture
  6. Accessories
  7. Lighting
  8. Plants

Using the Feng Shui principles, I can help you organize your space using the 9 section of the BAGUA - wealth, reputation, relationships, family, health, creativity, knowledge, career and compassion.  Remember clutter will clog up your home and will not allow the energy to flow and bring you the good fortune in your life.

2 main elements:

Wind: Moves chi (life force)
Water: Retains / cultivates

When in a room or space and feels good, can breathe, means chi is flowing.
Perform space clearing to stop negative energy
Use aromatherapy oils, potpourri, smudge dried sage or rosemary
Use incense/smoke to purify
Clapping in a room is positive energy

Design of Home
Chinese believe homes that are level, square or rectangle shapes are good.
Ponds and steams are positive
Landscape so path is curved (straight lines are like daggers)
Obstacles at entry are omens
Front entry should be open ands airy, feel safe.
Slanted ceilings cause headaches when sleep under them
Clean lines open spaces allow chi to flow
BAGUA consists of earth, metal, fire water, wood.

You might be at a loss if you had to define the type of décor you find most appealing: Articulating style can be difficult. But when it comes to decorating, finding furniture and colors that work together―and that you love―is crucial. Finding your distinct decorating style, casual to eclectic―I can help you identify your design “personality"
