Greetings from Theresa,
I hope you and your family are safe and healthy, and finding some moments to treasure during these trying times. Like everyone, I have been looking at my home from a new perspective and I feel grateful that my refuge nurtures me while I navigate these “new normals”. Many people are working from home, like my client in her home office (see above), which was completed a few years ago. She tells me that she loves this clean, minimal and efficient space that helps her to focus on her work as a researcher. Plus, she recently brought her spin bike into the other half of the room since her gym is temporarily closed, a shift she never expected. Others have let me know that they are working at their kitchen islands, while other “home offices” are simply the living room sofa with a laptop. Wherever you find yourself, try to make your work space as useful and nurturing as possible.
With everyone’s focus on staying home, many of us are decluttering and rethinking areas of the home that aren’t working properly. On that note, I wanted to let you know there is help available! I am offering an easy online consultation service via Zoom. It’s an opportunity to take advantage of this sequestered time to make a positive change to your surroundings, whether you have been thinking about cleaning out areas and need some design direction, or if you need some help in freshening up tired areas of your home.
Also, “Room by Design”, my online design service launched last year, is perfect for the DIY enthusiast who needs a road map, suggested materials to use, and a shopping list. It is live on my website and can be accessed at https://www.roombydesign.com/.
Finally, in this time of isolation, nothing feels better than just reaching out and talking to each other. Stay well and please give me a call or an email if you have any questions or have anything to share, or just want to say hello. Would love to hear from you!
Theresa Casey
