What turns you on?

Is it the smell of your lovers’ cologne? …Is it the feel of his lips on the back of your neck? ..... Is it the sound of his voice? ..... Hmmmm!!!! Does all of the above do it for me? ..... Sure – But if you really want to excite me……

Show me …a white patent leather tufted wall,… let me feel a silk linen flecked with metallic thread slip through my fingers…let me bask in the smell of that newly cut wood.

Passion, you have to have it when it comes to planning special events. For me the turn on, the passion comes from seeing the designs I have put down on paper become the reality in our shop. I am lucky, so very lucky, to have the privilege of being able to walk next door and see and be a part of each and every detail of how things are made. I love the details and in this business the details are what separate the men from the boys.

So my advice to all the planners and designers out there.… Find out what turns you on… which piece of your event or start of design do you feel passionate about… work on the details…. See it, touch it, taste it… and then create away….

Oh, and if you are in the neighborhood…. Stop by and check out the fabulous tree top table that is being built because baby when I look at that…. I am literally brought to my knees!!!!!!
