Vision

As I was walking out to work out with my husband this am, he ventured an opinion more strongly put than the twenty subtle hints he's given me previously on the subject. 'Your shorts are neither attractive or flattering in any way'. (I really don't suggest any other man try this, unless they feel extremely confident in their spouse's/significant other's self-confidence/expectation of continued good mood.) My reaction was 'ok, I'll go shopping'. Mind you, the comment was not about me - but my Favorite roomy work-out shorts.

It's the same way with furniture and items in your home. Your choice of furniture or colors is about you, my role is to edit what you like to spaces you will love. My job is to help you keep Aunt Tilly's chair, because you love it, but change it/place it so it works with the overall scheme. I once put a wildly organic-looking slab of marble on an old buffet and placed it in a foyer next to the door in a mid-century modern themed home. Even the old buffet-hating husband really liked it after the transformation.

Having said that, sometimes even your favorite shorts have to go to Goodwill, for the happiness of the home. AC Gunther Design, where it's your style, by Design.
