{I heart} White Horse Statues

I'm totally lusting over white horse statues.  There's something about these animals that are so amazing and I'm hoping to find a piece to incorporate into my own home decor.

{Reader's Survey} Room Design Consideration Results

On Tuesday I presented a poll on the question Which room design factor do you consider to be most important?  The choices were architectural detail, designer fabrics, furniture, comfort and durability, materials, technology, lighting, or art.

And how did you all answer?

The most popular choice was...furniture.  35% of you voted this way!  Above all when designing a space furniture was your top consideration.

My biggest surprise?

So few of you chose designer fabric. So many design boards are designed around it!  I thought for sure that fabric was going to be a major consideration.






And how did I vote?

I always have a love for architectural details in a space.  When remodeling my own home it was a major factor, even before I considered other design elements.  Give me traditional moldings and add some modern touches and I'm in my dream home.  Maybe it was growing up around the business of custom woodwork that makes me a little nostalgic.  :)

Don't forget to take my reader's survey on Room Design Considerations.



{Reader's Survey} Room Design Considerations

Most of us know that when designing a space it's next to impossible to have it all.  When doing any type of design project there are always many variables to consider.  Other than the basic design elements there are space limitations, building codes, or just plain budget considerations.  But, that's what makes it fun, right?

Which piece of a design do you consider to be the most important?  You know, the aspect of the design that you just couldn't do without?  The main factor that you feel makes the space?  So important that you make sure the space incorporates it?
