Inspired Interiors For Living Well
 

INSPIRED INTERIORS FOR LIVING WELL

We believe in the human connection and celebrating the successes of others; in kindness and collaboration; in creating joyful, inviting, and livable homes — inspired by you — to empower you and your family. We understand the value of your time. We know efficiency is essential to having an easy and enjoyable experience.

A well-designed home sets the stage for a life well-lived and simply becomes the backdrop for more meaningful connections. Your home should encourage you to live in the moment with room to relax, recharge, re-energize, and get a good night’s rest. A well-designed home promotes well-being, provides peace-of-mind, and inspires you to pay it forward with each new day. We believe you deserve - 

SPACE TO RISE AND THRIVE

[swipe] “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.” - B.B. King . . As graduations are under way this first week in June, I’m thinking back on the last 10 years since receiving my second degree. First up: A curated show of my paintings on display at the @corcorangallery @gwuniversity It was a fun evening filled with art, music, and entertainment — surrounded and supported by clients, friends, and family. Our goal was simple: “Sell Out” through all of the paintings to raise funds for a few favorite causes as every piece displayed was up for auction. . . . #joyfulinteriors #daneaustindesign #custominteriors #gwu #bostoninteriordesigner #bostoninteriordesign #designers #corcoranalumni #boston #interior #interiordesign #luxe #bostonrealtor #ccad #bostonrealestate #realestateboston #therapy #therapist #howyouhome #upgradeyou #design123 #interiordesignblogger #designblogger #community #designersgiveback #fundraisers #studentmentor #friendsareeverything #shareyourjourney #shareyourjoy

“Fine art is knowledge made visible.” - Gustave Courbet . Stjepan Šandrk (Croatia) Text, 2018 . . 📷 @seanlitchfield . Šandrk’s oeuvre contrasts classical masterpieces with contemporary images of technology-driven distractedness and self-absorption. In “Text”, a young woman stands before Gustave Courbet’s “L’Origine du Monde” (1866), engrossed by her own smartphone. The piece invites the viewer to consider the relevance of traditional art in modern-day society: is it no longer engaging, or are we simply disengaged ourselves? This piece also contrasts a highly technical, photorealist technique with the more abstract works in the space, inviting a discussion (one of the client’s favorites) of the devolution of art from centuries of inspired anthropomorphism to the “neo-paganism” of the 20th and 21st century “avant-garde”. As a side note, the Courbet original referenced in Šandrk’s piece became the subject of a legal dispute in France after Facebook deactivated the account of an art historian in 2011, claiming that his posting of Courbet’s piece violated its prohibition of “pornographic material” (Facebook was ultimately found at fault in early 2018). - in the client’s own words . . #startwiththeart #liveartfully #joyfulinteriors #liveartfully #art #luxe #interiordesign #fineart #painting #whiteboxcondo #daneaustindesign #thecolorguy #howyouhome #standout #standalone #oneofakind #painting #clientsbecomefriends #visaversa #letscollaborate #collaboration #howyouhome #collaborationovercompetition #happyhome #happyhomes #riseandthrive #thriveexperience #interiordesigner #interiordecorating #interiorinspo #gustavecourbet
[swipe] Pink isn’t just a color, it’s an attitude. . . Graphic black and gray upholstery and bold jolts of color stand out against the statement-making blush-pink walls of the living room. In the seating area, a clean-lined sectional and acrylic-backed swivel seats, all covered in textural geometric fabrics, surround a resin and gold leaf coffee table reminiscent of the first Fabergé egg. It’s an apt association, since the husband’s passion is Russian literature. A smooth, toe-stub-proof design was essential— the husband broke his toe on their last coffee table while reviewing, yes, Russian literature. . . .
