On one of the most trying and discouraging days this week, AD Middle East posted about our home. I missed it as I was working all day, but upon my return I got the loveliest messages of gratitude from clients who had somehow stumbled upon the article and had saved it before noticing it was my very own project. Some of these clients had already added two more children to their brood since we worked together and some were contemporary clients who happen to be beloved creative friends of mine. Their words warmed the cockles of my heart and restored my faith in the fact that the best clients are those who understand that trust in the process is integral to a successful outcome even though the pathway there may at times be obfuscated or arduous. I give you here two excerpts. From Agniezca with all exclamations included: « Simply took my breath away..I love how you love your blended family and how you reflected this in your Reno! I love the bliving room.. never seen a bathroom like this! You are so exceptionally talented! Your kitchen is an art piece! It made me love dark kitchens.. and that island is something else! ». And this gem I may end up embroidering on a silk cushion from Marthe with all the poetry and feeling french effortlessly exudes: « Marc et moi sommes tellement privilégiés que tu partages avec nous ton immense talent, ta passion, ta vision, ton engagement et ton enthousiasme à créer et façonner notre intérieur en lui offrant un autre visage et une nouvelle temporalité dans un souci constant du détail. Tu es une des rares personnes qui a réussi avec brio à me projeter hors de ma zone de confort et je t’en suis très reconnaissante. Tes idées sont géniales comment en témoigne tes nombreux projets et en plus tu es une source d’inspiration infaillible. » yes, us self-assured, self-employed and seemingly successful creatives do need affirmation, do seek validation, do love adoration. So if you have one in your life today, please hug your designer. They have poured their heart and soul into your homes and hands and at times it’s a lonely one way street until the great reveal. Nurture us. Your home will love you a hundred times back.
