Gothic Decorum

Decorating has become one of my creative outlets which was fine tuned with the complete overhaul of our house in a suburb of Dallas TX. Themed decorum in particular has been my interest. This interest sparked my writing of an article for Morbid Outlook online magazine on such topic.

With some recent interior design consulting to a friend's massage therapy office, I am expanding my hobby to a part time pursuit. If interested in an interior design consult, please contact me at:

Dallas Massage Care Office:

This consulting for a friend's office presented a challenge for me - to visualize a style completely unlike my own. The goal was to find a color scheme and a theme for decorating that would be inspiring for the therapist and both relaxing + warm to the client. The theme was to become Easter Island and the color scheme decided was pumpkin orange, turquoize blue and two shades of grass green to represent the foliage + ocean. The theme from Easter Island evolved into tribal to encompass Easter Island, Australia and Latin America - basically the Pacific Rim.
