Solo Journey Winter 2015 NYC

| Design Works International

It’s true….this winter in  NYC it has been….shall I say “A bit brutal” with our fair share of snow, ice, hail and freezing temperatures…but looking through my camera lens I choose to see ” The Softer Side” of winter…

Repetition NYC

| Design Works International

Repetition in NYC could mean many things especially after living here for 30 years…as a designer it’s all about  color, creativity and of course chaos, the positive kind!

Finding historic repetition like the detailing in these landmark handrail medallions in mixed metals just made my day! In NYC it’s all about appreciating “the history” that is captured by these everlasting signs of creativity!

Happy Monday!

Had to share our “Sunrise over the City”! Beautiful morning of warm tones framing the skyline and Central Park! Looks magical and surreal…what a great way to start the day! Enjoy.

This Happened…AGAIN!

| Design Works International

Well I guess the upside of Winter 2015 in NYC is that it’s a photographers paradise. Took this image tonight on the Upper Westside and it really looks like vintage NYC. It’s super cool how the snow camouflages the city and brings a softness to these street scenes! Black and White imagery is so beautiful as it helps create this timeless moment.

Bridge Perspective…..NYC 

| Design Works International

Even from a far NYC intrigues me…no matter where I stand I always seem to fall in love all over again with it’s timeless beauty.

Perhaps it’s the subtle neutral tones of the skyline or it’s eclectic architecture that seems to calm my soul. And yes, the chaos of course…the good kind that promotes creativity and promise!

I ❤️ NY!

An inexpensive yet effective way to refresh any room in your home is to change up your dec pillows…with so many affordable and fun choices today it’s easy to update your style sensibility without making a huge investment.

With the resurgence of embroidery and many handmade techniques this season, dec pillows provide another way to layer in texture and dimension in any room.
