By Design

I have been having a rough time thinking of what to post next, mostly because I have just been working a lot. Today, when I had a few minutes of free time, (which is really rare) I realized no one has seen where I work. By Design Interiors has been around since 1990! There are 5 full-time designers, assistants, a media specialist, a shipping and receiving specialist, an accountant, and a lot of fabric books.
Here's my office...and yeah! I get that big green chair! Its a bit bulky and likes to get in my way, but its too comfortable to swap out for something different.
One of the ways we organize projects is by these baskets; they'll contain all of the paperwork, drawings, fabric samples, tile samples, and anything else we could possibly need for a project. As you can see, one is so full and heavy that it just sits on the floor.
Cindy and Amber, (the women I work with) have begun a chest of drawers full of "totally awesome" fabric samples. And all of them are totally awesome. It certainly helps looking here first before we decide to search through these......
Fabric books....
and more fabric books.
There are tons of what seem like random things all over the office, finial samples (what you see above) tables, chairs, mirrors, frames, statues, paintings, hardware, rug samples, florals, pillows, furniture books, tassels, dressers, and so much more. It isn't hard to get into the creative mood when there is so much inspiration all around.
So this is me...at work!

  1. Erika - That was so much fun! Loved seeing where you spend the majority of your time. Maybe you could do a post showing us all the people you work with too. Looks like you are settling in wonderfully - but we miss your smiling face here.
    Love,
    MOM
