newest version of my website is up and updated. hopefully i can learn to be satisfied with it...WAY too many late nights recently being nit picky and looking for ways around iweb's limitations.

some recent work. color consultations.

sneak peek.

due to unsatisfation of my current website layout, i decided to make some changes. why does creative energy ALWAYS seem to sneak up on me in the wee hours of the night??? oh well...im just happy it comes!

here is a glimpse:

website to be updated after some MUCH needed shut eye.

springing forward.

today is all about business/personal development. lists have been drafted, things will be checked off. wholesale/resale forms to be filed. sweat to be shed in yoga and another inch to reach forward, lean back, pull, and stretch. goals will be written down and posted up...a constant reminder of where/who i want to be.

as march zips by, april promises desert biking and tahoe adventures, concerts, the return of friends, allergies to beautiful blooms, a couple big jobs, deadlines, and sunshine.

if spring had a soundtrack this would be included among the other 273 songs...

chemisty in the home.

i studied biology in my first round of college. i took many a chemistry class and continue to be drawn by science-inspired homewares.

top. salad dressing flask by Typhoon. available @ amazon.com. i have one and make a mean balsamic honey mustard dressing. bottom. super cool vintage flask decanters. available as a set at bradford house antiques for a hefty sum of $$.

left. living botanical wall art. available @ gardeners.com. or make your own. right. hanging vintage test tube bud vases. available at branchhome.com.

pretty pretty sausalito. full of charm and sunshine and beautiful homes!!

this is the view from my office today. :) the place i am lucky enough to call home is never short on inspiration.

color consultations are like living vicariously through someone else's walls. just got word that my most recent color client LOVES her newly painted walls. maybe i have learned something from all my color classes.

keepin it glassy- this house is a dream!

my future living room.

really I was just having too much fun with this screen grab feature i just learned. this is what a design-obsessed person does at 2am when they can't sleep...or at least what i do. yeah im a design nerd. what?

i think this is how im going to do my design boards/presentations from now on. it's a pretty effective visual, right? night.

njk. interiors + has executed its first contract.

color consultation tomorrow for a new client. next week is consultation with biggest staging client to do interiors of his personal residence. go njk. interiors + GO!

photo on right. my rendition on left.

this is my first assignment for my rendering class. this is what $300 worth of professional artist quality pencils/markers and 2 hours time gets you. rendering is actually a super meditative process for me. it's nice to see good results, but again I am finding it hard to understand the applicability of this class to my career. i mean, what client is going to pay a designer's hourly rate to have a hand-rendering produced?

<----this would cost $150 at minimum! and it's just one piece of furniture with some crap on top.

my brand new website...

www.njkinteriors.com

work in progress...but working on progressing in career/life. i have to say though...its a little scary putting myself/work out there on the www.

my home.

current addiction: building/designing my website. iweb makes it simple. website will feature current projects and my portfolio. its been an interesting process...this website will be more traditional/professional than my usual taste. it's a fun challenge. ill throw in a little rad pad flavor once i get some projects that are more modern, hip, Frank Lloyd Wright and Michelle Kaufmann and less cookie cutter, old school, Louis (XIV-XVI) and Jonathan Miller. With ALL due respect to more conventional design/architecture, I just have a soft spot for a more streamlined aesthetic with a little eclecticism and whimsy thrown about.
