On December 9, 2009 we held a Handcraft show featuring work by Gary Hixon, Sarah Bashore, Sylvia Ashley, Kimberly Noel, and Lesli Tanski. Despite the bitter cold evening, we had lots of guests and great sales. Gary brought his one-of-a-kind jewelry, Sarah had knitted vests, scarves and hats, Kimberly had fun drawings and Lesli made tea cozies.
Hixon Interiors has started their bi-monthly Art Shows. Be on the lookout for your invitation to our next show in February, 2010.
Contemporary Craftsman Kitchen
This montage shows a kitchen where I needed to combine the two apparently opposing styles of the husband and wife. A good designer can help couples meet somewhere in the middle, so that both parties are satisfied with the result.
I can’t say it better than Penny Drue Baird, owner of Dessins. “People don’t always want the things or look they think they want”. Part of a designer’s job is to help clients discover what they do want. I find in almost all cases that the process becomes a learning experience for the client; their view is broadened as they are shown new and different solutions from those they are used to. Usually they experience an ‘aha’ moment, for better or for worse.
