We throw the brakes on our breakneck pace and halt for a while. The design marathon, tirelessly trod during the year, ends and the time comes to back up and look at the picture we’ve been painting. Of course, this allows us time to spend with our patient, oft neglected, families but, for me, it’s always an occasion for reflection. Amidst the hectic twelve months of designing, drawing, coordinating and countless calls and emails, what have we been doing?
My hope is we’ve been doing what we’ve always set out to do: create beauty where there was none before and, in the process, make our clients’s lives a bit more lovely. The invitation to assist grace is a magnificent one and one I never take lightly. It’s simply too darn paramount. Have we all been made better by knowing each other? I sincerely hope so.
This year we celebrated our thirtieth year in business. I honestly can’t believe it’s been that long. I still go to bed thinking of houses and awaken in the same ponderous consideration. My enthusiasm never waivers on the path of finding home – someone’s home.
We have some exciting developments rising on the horizon this year. 2014 was grand. 2015 will be stellar. I know that even more.
I hope you all have a peaceful and wondrous holiday respite.
For the moment, my pencil is still. My mind never is.
