For many years I rely on my own gift wrapping rather than the store bought.I am never without rolls of white and brown papers and good quality gold and red ribbons. It has been my signature.
This year i started playing with decorating plain paper shopping bag with a very satisfying result. I found, that it makes the "receivers" feel very special and...I feel good myself.
Here is one I made for a baby shower with pearls,cristals andshells. I even wrote my wishes on the bag itself. For some reason I do not care for commercial greeting cards, eather. Sometimes I make those myself also.
On fallowing bags I went a little further:I took a photo of fan coral on the background of Clarance House fabric,that I originaly used for series of bathroom wall hangings.
It is great fun !!
This picture caught my INTERIOR DECORATOR's eye.
I wander how does one sale beautiful equestrian property which is decorated in "palazzo" style(?) so poorly executed at that.
To me it is a perfect example how wrong decor confuses the buyer and can deter the sale. Pity that the owner does not recognize it. There is much at stake here, worth to make a change.
Looking through my "precious" stash of old files I came across this sentimental picture of a global style interior dating ...several decades back !
Nihil novi sub sole, as ancient Romans would have said. Indeed !
Why did i keep this image so many years ?...........
It was an inspiration for decorating my own home in Lagos, Nigeria.
Since furniture were not easy to come by, (mostly they were "passed on" among ex patriot community),
I found this idea easy to execute!
Using African textiles and unique tribal artifacts, I was able to create very FUN ROOM always ready for
A GREAT PARTY !
Who would not want to have EXOTIC dreems in this Maharaja bed ???
Or is it Ali Baba ? Call it what you want as long as it speeks to your senses
I am glad to be working with Vero Beach ,Florida clientele. I consider it very adventurous,open minded and appreciative of the "treasures of the World" just as I am.
Talking about GLOBAL style in decorating
How about this Paris kitchen ? Quite unusual and chic !

Your Vero Beach Decorator!
European born, educated in interior design in Chile, (also holding degree in pharmacy) ,I am working in interior decorating since 1980, with 20 years of allied membership in ASID(American Society of Interior Design) .
Spending many years living in different parts of the Globe, in circles of international foreign service,broadened my horizons and led me to develop cosmopolitan quality with love and admiration for the World.
My European background has influence on my work: comfort and personable simplicities are my goal in creating spaces "ONE WANTS TO COME HOME TO"
That is not to say, that I do not enjoy designing "SHOWCASE STYLE" interiors as well.
I decorate with confident spontaneity.

My design philosophy:
GREAT DECORATING does not depend on worldly possessions or magnificent spaces....
IT IS making the best of what we already have with ingenuity and imagination, sense of esthetics and style...
BEST INTERIORS are created by confident,spontaneous expression of our personality.
