I also didn’t like the idea of sticking my diploma or other certifications (do they say I’m certifiable?) on my office wall as “artwork”. As a photographer, I really wanted to find a way to show off my work too. My answer was to use some of my favorite photographs I’ve taken as artwork to adorn my walls. Some are framed, others aren’t. Plus, I can rotate photos from home to the office.

However, as I started to put photos up in my house, I realized I really needed help with my eclectic collection of furniture – some antiques, some hand-me-downs (antiques-to-be?). It must have been enough of a mix-mash of styles to make my (then fiancee, now) wife wonder just what I was thinking.

Like you, I also turned to Lynda Foxman for help. I couldn’t be happier with the how great my place looked after she worked her magic. I’ll admit I was concerned because I’m in California and she’s in NY but she quickly addressed any concerns I had.

In fact, my wife and I are even talking about flying her back out here again to help with our remodeling plans and how to combine our furniture and decorating styles. I know from talking with friends that deciding what stays and what goes can be somewhat stressful, so we’re looking forward to having her help.
