What do you love? Is it nature, the beach, photography, fashion? Whatever it is, let that be reflected in your living spaces. Part of my job is to get to know the homeowners taste, personality, interest, the way they live day to day and translate that in their homes. For example, I had a client that just loved Las Vegas. He very timidly showed me a slot machine he had acquired and half heartedly asked if I could find a place for it, positive I was going to tell him it had to go. Absolutely not!!! It is front and center in an amazing penthouse and some how, some way, it looks great and like it belongs.
The strangest request was from one of my favorite clients. The husband is passionate about hunting. I went into their office headquarters one day and there were two huge ctates. I foolishly asked what they were and he said, wait a few minutes and I'll show you. Low and behold, out came two giant black bears. I said, "What are you going to do with them?" Dumb question. He replied, "No....what are you going to do with them? They are going in the house!"
So one of the bears is in the kitchen with a Gator hat on, and the other is in the family room, along with some deer heads, hides etc. and the new addition coming soon, a buffalo head over the marble fireplace. Believe it or not, it looks amazing.
So if you love surfing, hunting, fishing, shoes, wine, traveling....let a professional help you incorporate it tastefully in your abode.
