With the Holidays around the corner, many of us are starting to think about decorating and baking and all the holiday traditions. Decisions Decisions!  What makes Christmas feel like Christmas? For some it’s the people, for others, the wintry weather. And still others, the baking and decor. Did I mention presents? Of course it’s different for everyone, so how can you make it magical for all?

When we think about fall decor, the first thing that comes to mind is pumpkins, mums and cornstalks. Am I right? While these iconic fall pieces are lovely, there’s so much more to changing our homes for this new season than just front door displays. Our lifestyles in fall change as well and our homes can reflect that in ways that are comforting and useful.

The Mitchell’s Soup move-in is complete! Aside from some more setup here and there, everyone is back to work and busy staying ahead of the fall surge. I developed the design and monitored details through the building process these last 6 months. New buildings are the perfect opportunity to either re-direct or flesh out the company culture through environment design. How we feel in a space effects how we work and relate to one another.

Healthy relationships between the various departments is essential for a successful work culture.

The New Terrazzo Collection

I’m pretty picky when it comes to tile.  I was reluctant to let the idea go so I decided to try and make terrazzo myself. In the end it opened up more opportunities to use the medium in new and unexpected ways.
