It has been quite a week here in Boston. Disbelief, shock, anger, sadness, despair and finally – relief and joy. Everyone is struggling to understand. At times, I have had a difficult time staying focused on my work and to be productive, yet I have had to find ways to carry on. As much as the news says we are “Boston Strong”, etc., the fabric of my life has been torn in ways I can not completely see or understand and when it is stitched back together, I will be different. My Mom shared a poem with me that I have found to be very helpful.

It is called, Look to This Day.

Look to this day
for it is life
the very life of life.

In its brief course lie all
the realities and truths of existence
the joy of growth
the splendor of action
the glory of power.

For yesterday is but a memory
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived
makes every yesterday a memory
of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day….

~ ancient Sanskrit poem ~

Thank you all for your expressions of concern and support.

We shall overcome…

Part of a much larger French/European influence project just beginning construction, this is a snapshot of the design development of the feature elevation in the kitchen. The client brought this image to us saying, “Make it feel like this!”

 

As in this image, the range and hood comprise the dominant element on the feature wall of the kitchen. This is one of the preliminary sketches I did as we explored what the kitchen would look and feel like.

 

As the idea developed, the sketches became tighter – showing more detail.

 

The final version that we took to B&G Cabinets , in Newburyport, who represent Plain and Fancy Cabinetry, a wonderful product! (Although it is not shown, the back splash is going to be Awesome!)

Detail sketch showing how the cabinets meet the boxed beams and coffered ceiling.

Can’t reveal any more… In a few months, we’ll show installation pictures. I will say where we’ve ended up is a design that is a unique expression of who this client is. I can’t begin to tell you how gratifying and satisfying it is to be working with  a client who is so fastidious and has an eye for detail.

 

Cheers,
