The Big Reveal…the new Laredo Library!

Today is the Grand Opening Ceremony of the South Laredo Library.  I drove to Laredo earlier this week to take a few pre-opening  photographs.  As an interior designer,  I was one of many individuals that had the privilege of being a part of this magnificent project.  And now the day has arrived.  The new library is ready for it’s BIG reveal!

Let me know what you think!

 9. To Help You Work Through Opposing Tastes

I can be the third party to mediate taste and style between spouses, business partners or whomever else is involved in the decision making process.

interior-designer-at-work10. To Get the Job Done

I make sure everything is completed. Often when a project drags on for months, some might be inclined to leave a few details undone if they are doing it themselves. It’s my job to see that every aspect of the project is completed to your satisfaction.

3. To Provide Resources
There’s a world of furnishings, fabrics, case goods and accessories that are available “to the trade only.” I have access to local and national manufacturers and products that are not available to consumers.

4. To Help You Stay Well Connected
Design is only as good as its execution.  I work with the best workrooms, carpenters and painters and have the clout to make sure prices match the quality.
