From her lush floor to her majestic skies, mother nature offers so much beauty and, most certainly, endless interior design inspiration.Nicks and Don Henley very romantic duet, which was masterfully written by the Fleetwood Mac sweetheart in 1981.

 
A birdseye view
 

Like so many, I sometimes find it challenging to strike a balance between work, family and having time to nurture my own well-being. 

So, to the woods I head… 

While recently taking a walk one crisp winter’s day, I explain the moment when I looked up and spotted a gigantic nest. I surmised it must belong to last year’s resident red-tail hawk.  What a wonderful discovery, which was nearly as thrilling as watching the eagles who frequently fly over the nearby Connecticut River.  Experiences like this are what really grip me and often turn out to be the foundation for many of my designs and design topics.

Now, close your eyes and picture yourself flying like an eagle over every room in the house. I’m about to help you look at balance in a totally different way!

In Track 3 of Deep Track Designs, I discuss a few simple tips and steps anyone can follow:  finding the focal point of the room, taking a few measurements, grabbing some graph paper, rough-sketching furniture, using color, and understanding formal vs. informal balance. I promise these useful tools will save your back from all that heavy lifting. The end result:  a perfectly balanced room, one of the most important ingredients for a truly great design.    

There’s also a passionate discussion about the Steve Miller Band and my obsession with music where the Guitar takes over.

In fact, you may be surprised to learn about who plays my favorite guitar solo…my co-host sure was!

 

 

If you find yourself needing a helping hand, don’t worry about it. Leave the heavy load with me, and I’ll create a digital floor plan that’s guaranteed to make your life a lot more simple, leaving you more time to work on striking the balance in your life by doing the things you really want to do…

Enjoy life!
