The design world moves at a much slower pace than the regular one.

I write this because more than a few of my clients have shown concern over the speed–or lack thereof–along which their projects have moved.

Here is a case in point.  Cathy runs a busy up-scale clothing shop and a travel agency.  Originally, she hired me over a year ago to create a travel office out of an unused space in the building where she had the shop.  The path we took to that route was hardly straight and finally we are neared completion on the travel office today.  In the midst of our work together, we found it was often necessary to spend design time on the clothing space, simply because it was the portion of her business that demanded the attention.  And sometimes, Cathy was just to busy to worry about decorating.

And that’s ok.  Life happens.  Decorating fits in when it can.  No need to stress.  This is suppossed to be fun!

Here are some “befores and afters”.
