Looking back on 2014 I have to say that I am most proud of how
my design business has evolved and grown, and by that, I really
mean how I have evolved and grown in my design business.
When I began this adventure in 2012, I really just dove in….
if you were one of those first clients, God bless you.
While I am proud of ALL my work, what I know for sure,
is that my work has only gotten better, along with the confidence
and perspective I bring to each design job.
While I am far from perfect and still have miles and miles to
go……I am having a BLAST on this journey.
I love working with people on creating their homes…
It is both an honor and a blessing.
For 2015 I plan on doing much the same, only MORE and bigger!
I have found a niche, working with families who may or may not
have considered hiring an interior designer, who want candid advice
and counsel but perhaps want to do some of the 'leg-work' themselves
so they can spend more of their budget on furnishings versus a
designer. I will provide guidance, choices, alternatives, the best
neutral paint color, workroom services, bookshelf styling,
gallery wall creating, affirmation and hopefully loads of creativity.
I created the design board above after being inspired to do so after
seeing Ikea's newest sofa/chair offerings - an English roll arm, one
of my favorites! I designed this room to show a traditional sofa
doesn't always have to be styled traditionally! I love the mix
of traditional and more trendy items - all at very affordable prices -
proving good design is accessible for everyone!
If you are a local Portland client, THANK YOU for your
confidence, friendship and trust…..you are helping me live
my dream doing something I love.
If you are local and thinking about 'zhushing' a room in your home
and would like to schedule a 2015 consult, please send me an
email jill.hinsondesigns@gmail.com.
And those of you who live here there and everywhere -
eDesign can work really well for you! I think I have
worked with over 40 e-clients this year - and though we
never meet in person, I always feel like when we reach our goal, I have
gained a new friend. And I love when you follow up and send
me photos of the space we created together!
