Draw Your Home, Design Your Furniture

If you're considering investing in property, you might just want to start by drawing your home like my dear friend Jean-Louis advised me to do. He's a believer that what you visualize, you'll bring into your life. And this is not the first time I've hear this. "Draw it for you, you don't have to show it to anyone", he said. If I close my eyes for mere moments, I picture a house with solid foundations with bay windows, facing a garden. I can already see myself planting tomato plants, with the dirt in my fingers. If I enlarge the picture, we're walking distance to the local schools and town, down a hill to the Saturday open markets. And I already feel a sense of community and the well-being that comes from living, near good people a sunny climate. Today, I closed my eyes again, and added soft pink walls, and maybe even on the front door.
Jean-Louis' approach actually makes sense when the possibilities seem endless and you might, like me be wondering, when I'll find the home for me, for us. After all, how am I supposed to know it's the right house, if I don't really have a clear picture of what I'm looking for?

The same goes for your furniture. Why fill your home with furniture that comes from an assembly line? If your goal is to have furniture that matches your style, then opt for customized furniture.

This is the new trend, specialty custom cabinetshops that offer you the chance to design your own kitchen table nook, custom cabinets or antique-looking bookshelf. And the process is a relatively simple one. You meet with one of consultants, and describe what you'd like. I can describe the book case I want simply by closing my eyes. I'd like a quaint bookshelf painted soft green with three simple shelves, the kind of bookshelf that beckons visitors to look at the titles you're reading. And I know that I want bar stools because somehow drinking coffee in the kitchen first thing in the morning, tastes so much stimulating when you've got a little altitude. That and my pink walls and I'm set. I'll know when one of the consultants designs my bookcase and bar stools because I already have them sketched out in my mind. It's the architectural expertise that's missing.

With three decades of in the design, manufacture, and installation of custom and architectural design NYC Custom Furniture is a solid name in the industry.
