editor' s note
January/February 2023
IT'S A NEW DAWN AND A NEW DAY
I
6
am ready for a new year. I know most of us said that after 2020 - and
some even after 2021 - but 2022 was a bittersweet one for me.
I lost my precious cat Izzy very suddenly in October. I had only had
her for a little more than three years, but she was such a light in my life.
She had the friendly and charming attitude not always associated with
felines, and she seemed to always be in a good mood. I have yet to adopt
another kitty, and my dad's answer to that is " Every day without a cat, is a
day without a cat. " Point taken; I will defi nitely invite another bundle of
joy into my home as soon as I am ready.
Th at was the bitter part of 2022, and the sweet part is that I moved. I
know that can be one of the most stressful things a person can undergo, but
now that the dust has settled, I love my new apartment. Not only do I have a
fancy new refrigerator with a bottom freezer and water dispenser, my white
countertops and gray cabinets are gleaming with brand-newness. (I am not
fond of white kitchens, but I dressed up the rest of the open-plan unit with
more color than most people would know what to do with.) And the feng
shui is strong here with a comfortable layout and natural light pouring in.
So I am looking forward to more good things in 2023 - can time really
have gone that fast? I am excited to learn about new colors, although up
until this year, you could not have convinced me that magenta would win
out. It seems homeowners still feel safe with green and blue pops, so that
purple/red hue is taking an even farther step outside the box.
In terms of design trends, two of them remain a constant. People want
less clutter in their homes, hence more storage solutions in their kitchens,
and they want their bathrooms to be the ultimate oases for rest and relaxation.
And although luxury has diff erent meanings for every homeowner,

 My cat Isabelle being the
gift she truly was and always
will be.
whatever those elements are, they want them.
As far as our overall industry outlook for 2023,
it is looking like we may have to wait another
year to get to the good stuff . Remodeling is still
hanging on tight, and the supply chain issues are
slowly but surely improving.
In this issue, we also talk about building a connection
with your client - both from the designer's
point of view and also from that of the client.
It is important that potential leads know how
you want to work and what you want to get out
of the project, but it is equally important that you
have your clients' interests in mind and do not
minimize their needs and ideas.
We are all in this together - as always - and I
hope 2023 is the best year for all of us yet! 
