Every so often I have the opportunity to create flower arrangements. Here are some from a wedding I coordinated last weekend. I selected the flowers locally with Jello Mold Farm. Do you need floral arrangements for your next celebration? I would love to make them for you!  A wooden valance creates a soffit around the great room and cleverly hides electrical wiring in the Northshore home built by HBC with interior design collaboration by Spiral Studios.
There is something about the process of building a home that comes life when cabinets get installed. It goes from an open blank space to defining the flow and shape of the room. Love this part of the process. I have been documenting the phases, and here are a couple cabinet happenings all over Bellingham. Yes indeed. Time to make it official. Spiral Studios is now on Facebook....and Houzz.

The presentation addressed subtle design strategies to maintain privacy for individual homes in these neighborhoods. The many benefits of these intentional communities, also discussed in the talk, include safety, shared responsibility of gardens and common spaces, social community, and shared knowledge and talents of community members. You can find out more about his work at www.rosschapin.com and www.pocket-neighborhoods.net Here in Bellingham, we are working to incorporate some pocket neighborhoods of our own. Millworks Cohousing was completed two years ago by Aiki Homes, and now Rob Staveland and his team, including Altimeter Studio, are working with McKenzie Green Commons in Fairhaven. There will be twelve homes in this project when it is completed, and homes are still available. For more information visit www.mckenziegreencommons.org Throughout my travels, I aim to capture some of my favorite elements and principals of design in photographs. In this way, I continue my education by intentionally observing the details of spaces that seem common everyday and everywhere, but with thoughtful application of these design elements, the ordinary is transformed into something remarkable. light color sustainability“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” -Miriam Beard light“I sense Light as the giver of all presences, and material as spent Light.
