Transforming An Empty Space Into An Art Gallery

October 20, 2009

Last week, I had the privilege of transforming an empty floor of my building into an art gallery space for one of my favorite photographers Peter Azrak. One of the biggest inspirations I use for my work is Nature, and Peter captures its essence beautifully in his artwork. The opening for his new show was last Friday October 16th, and it was a wonderful night. A great chance to look at art and meet new friends while spending time catching up with old ones.

Here is a before and after picture of how I transformed the space:

The next day, we had a chance to attend a meditation in the new gallery space. The space was once again transformed to be a place of peace—a tiny moment of calm and meditation hidden in a building on a busy New York street.

Oh, and if you clicked on that last link and have visited my site previously, you may have noticed that we re-designed it! It officially launched Wednesday, but it’s been so busy around here I haven’t had a chance to let you know.

This a screenshot of the homepage, but everything is new. I especially love the new Before & After section. We’re going to be adding new things every month, so be sure to keep an eye out for them. Let me know what you think. If there’s anything you’d like to see on the website, tell me in the comments.

I went on the Today Show today to discuss affordable DIY options for decorating for fall. Check out the video below. If you’d like to learn how to make your own pieces, click here to visit the How-To’s page of my site.

And if you have your own DIY tips, definitely let me know. I’d love to hear about them.

…And I’m Back

October 15, 2009

It’s been a long time since our last update–so sorry about that. I took a summer hiatus from the blog for work, fun, and a lot of planning. I have some exciting new things coming up. We’ve been working on a new website, new ideas for this blog, and a lot of ideas for event planning and design inspiration. You’ll hear all about them very soon. But first, just a few pictures to reminisce about the summer.
