This blog is something i've been wanting to do for some time. I need a place to share, and a place to both inspire and be inspired.
Who the heck am I? Just a creative guy working in the design industry, who's spent most of his adult life honing his eye and coming up with creative solutions for interesting problems. I ravage second hand shops, thrift stores and estate sales. I collect far too many things & get far too excited about little things like color, texture and finding just the right lamp, and have zero fear about destroying something in order to put it back together the way I want it.
It's all about potential, people. It's about seeing "junk" sitting at the curb, and recognizing that the lines of the thing are there, the bones are solid, and the potential is there to take that thing, apply some love (or tough love) and end up with something that will make your heart sing.
That's what good design does. It makes our hearts sing. It inspires us. Good design is tangible; you can feel it. You may not recognize immediately that you feel it, but more than likely if you walk into a room and feel good just being there, it's because there is a balance there. That balance is good design.
I want to share the treasures I find in my forages, images of the things that stop me in my tracks while walking down the street, and the projects that turn me into a recluse for as long as it takes to realize them. Question me, challenge me, share with me. Let's inspire each other. It'll be fun!
So, I welcome you, my reader, as I also welcome myself on this journey. I'm excited about it!
