As I was perusing and ripping the pages out from my usual stack of home-design magazines, I was trying to decide how to start my first blog. After several cups of Peets coffee and destroyed magazines, I decided to do what I usually do, and look for an inspiration. And if I was lucky, perhaps, there would be a theme to my inspiration! After all, this is what I do, translate what I see in the world of design and use my insights to help my clients create beautiful homes. Easy-schmeasy..

After about an hour of destroying my favorite magazines, I started to see a theme, one word ...Organic.

The word organic is not by any means a new term when it comes to home design. Frank Lloyd Wright introduced the word ‘organic’ into his philosophy of architecture as early as 1908 and Interior design has always taken its cues from nature; colors, shapes, and materials, but it seems of late organic has been taken to a whole new level of sophistication.

Materials ~ unstructured and formed by nature
