Ooohhh...getting excited for a Boho install we are doing when the “COVID Buzzkill Fairy” leaves the building….
⠀
We will keep you posted with pics and more pics when the time comes...hopefully in a few weeks 😊

What green and cream and lemon chiffon all over?
⠀
I have no idea.
⠀
BUT - I do know that family rooms - like this one - can be so deeply comfortable AND so deeply luxurious...at the same time 😊
⠀
It’s all a matter of meshing design style and strategy with personal cravings - what we call your Design Fingerprint - the results will be magic. No bunny in a hat needed ✨

Working from home is a blessing when it’s done right, when your work space fits you LIKE. A. GLOVE - when it fuels you.
⠀
More and more companies are embracing work from home - and with that many people are scrambling to carve out a spot to convert into a home office. Some spaces certainly convert better - or more easily - than others.
⠀
Two things to know:
⠀
#1 At IDH, we don't believe in home offices. We believe in Home Office Havens and suggest you adopt that too. (wink….😉)
⠀
#2 Here’s a great new blog post called “Converting Any Space Into a Home Office Haven.”

So you’re thinking it’s time to build that custom home of your dreams and you realize that Bucks County has SO much to offer. (I knew you were smart…)
⠀
Whether its a move from the city to the suburbs…
⠀
Or whether you’re shedding NJ taxes in favor of those in PA…
⠀
You’re busy. Your spouse is busy. You need an ace interior design team to lead you to the right builder AND get you through the entire design-build process, right down to the last impeccably-styled furnishing, so your end result - your new home - is BEYOND anything you imagined and hoped.
⠀
Call our studio, lovely. New home builds are our thing 😉❤️

One of our specialities is working with very busy, 2 career families who want their home to be their sanctuary AND also want it to reflect the level of success they’ve worked so hard to achieve.
⠀
Here, we helped a VERY busy young family to transform the kitchen in their otherwise lovely new home.
⠀
And we did it all without ripping out a single cabinet or appliance...Restaining the floors was under consideration but ultimately the idea was nixed due to the dust and tumult this kind of renovation would create. Instead, we assured our clients that we could make this kitchen so fresh and stylish, the floor would become a simple background note.
⠀
Both he and she were equally thrilled with this gorgeous result - as were their 3 growing boys!
⠀

Working from home is about who you are, how you work, and how you want to feel while doing it.

When we design an office for a member of the IDH family...aka...our clients (!)...it’s all about what makes you feel focused, fabulous, and ready to dive in to your own flavor of success.
⠀
If you’re looking at a future that includes more time working from home, we’d love to design something fabulous for you. Call the studio to set up a zoom call or phone call so we can chat about your work-from-home dreams and how to make them happen for you ✨

Trend alert: Blue, blue and more blue. Yes...blue remains the color on every lip in the home furnishings industry.

Of course there are other colors in the wheelhouse, but blue stays strong, even beyond your classic navy hues.

Meanwhile, neutral shades are getting warmer, so say adios to cool grays...👋🏼

What’s on your dream space wishlist?

Yes and more yes.
⠀
But even beyond the aesthetic:
⠀
I had a design mentor who taught me that in interior design...the devil is in the details.
⠀
I was on break during a CPE class and heard a surprising number of designers moaning about how much they hated the details of each job.
⠀
Great design is not just about the aesthetic.
⠀
Great design is also about the experience getting there. That means controlling all the details until the final item has been crossed off the punch list. It's also about the detailed project management, the detailed budget management, the detailed design PROCESS and SCHEDULE and reporting on all of it….it’s the whole deliverable.
⠀
At least it is for us here at IDH….
⠀

Working from home should be a haven. This is not marketing dribble.
⠀
It’s a core belief for me. As a creative, as an entrepreneur, I know first hand how deeply our work environment inspires our best focus, our best work...or how it can suck the life out of you if its nails-on-a-chalkboard bad.
⠀
Today more people than ever are working from home. That’s just the reality. Whether your job is virtual or recent events have forced you to reinvent your career. Either way, making your home work space amazing is SO doable for IDH.
⠀

Lilacs remind me of my mom. We had an enormous lilac bush in the yard. Each summer as a small child, I’d watch her climb a ladder in order to cut armloads of blooms to bring into the house. She loved them, their color, their scent, so I did too. I loved her.
⠀
After she died, I was heartbroken for a long time. A young mother myself at the time, I’d lost my first “best” girlfriend and an anchor in my life.
⠀
About 18 months after she died, I shared with another good friend a dream I had just had about my mother. I was back in that very same yard of my childhood. But my beautiful mother sat in a chair motionless, staring straight ahead, not speaking no matter what I did. I looked at the lilac bush and saw that there were no blooms on it which seemed like a problem to me.
⠀
So I began to pace around the yard, looking for lilacs..and then just for anything else that could be blooming. There was nothing to be found. Finally, I was at the garden gate. Just beyond it but out of reach, I saw a small, new lilac bush I’d never seen before. It was absolutely covered in blooms. I felt a longing for them, but felt frozen. With that, I heard my mother speak to me, “Donna, to get to those blooms, you’re going to have to leave this yard.” And so I took a step and just as I began to leave my mother’s garden, I woke up. I laid awake in the darkness for some time, crying while Steve slept peacefully...
⠀
I told my friend Nancy this story. A few days later, Nancy showed up at my home, bearing a lilac bush for me to plant in my own yard. In my own garden.
⠀
Lilacs, for me, are beautiful. They are my mother Naomi. They are letting go. They are moving forward.
