As you might have read in the previous post "Missing In Action". I told you how I spent the last 2 years chasing a shinny apple. As you see from my gallery pictures that I love creating beautiful accessory pieces but that's not the only part of my creativity. I have a love for interior decorating and I'm not to bad at it either (not barging or anything). So I have decided to start sharing some of my creations to let others see what I can do. Now every morning I am waking up to my passion and I'm loving it.
The secret to finding your passion is this. Let's say you won the lottery and you never had to work again. What is it that you would still do and didn't have to worry about making money. If you know the answer then you have found your passion. I love decorating! I would create rooms all day if I could but I have to work on the business side of things like writing this blog. I have been designing, creating, and decorating for over 20 years. I learn though reading a lot of books and magazines. Then a wonderful network was created called HGTV. I watch just about every program. And if you haven't notice on HGTV Design Star, the majority of the winners are self taught designers. Creativity can't be taught it's something that you already have and you must create more and more everyday to enhance that creativity. I realized this after taking classes from the Art Institute. I learn how to recreate looks of expensive pieces that I couldn't afford otherwise out of hand-me-downs, second had stores and of course Craigslist the mecca of cheap furniture finds. I have studied home staging and understand what a home should look like in order for it to sale. I have redesigned rooms using clients current furnishing to create a new look. I'm am building a portfolio of my work through mood boards. I had pictures of previous work that I had done but they all got destroyed. So I have found the next best thing and now I am able to help others create beautiful rooms without the expenses of hiring a designer. I am not only doing something that I love I am helping others as well, and to me that makes all the difference. It's a blessing to waking up to my passion knowing I have the opportunity to create beautiful spaces and share it with others. Go here if you would like to see my gallery of interiors! Remember you will never become wealthy in life unless you help someone else.
