How Redesigning Your Home Can Change Your Life

How you live defines who you are. Not just to yourself, but to others as well. Your home can indisputably affect your position in the world and the quality of your relationships. If your home is in chaos, you are likely often late for work or events. You might feel frustrated—in a constant rush for time, forever feeling pressured by those around you. Others will soon classify you as tardy and unreliable, and your status will quickly diminish. No one wants that. But your home defines you in other ways as well. The design and functionality send you daily messages about your talents, your work, your relationships, and your worthiness. »

Your First VeryTogether Apartment

How much rent can you afford? The US Housing Department guideline says that your rent should be no more than 25-30% of your gross salary. Landlords interpret this by requiring that your annual income be at least 40 times your monthly rent. If your rent is lower, it will make it easier to pay bills and buy what you need. »

A Tribute to Messy Couples

It’s an art when you think about it – pulling just the right outfit together out of a chaotic closet, finding everything you need for work in a pile of magazines, novels, dvd’s and video games, turning out a gourmet meal when the groceries are anywhere but on the kitchen shelves. Many messy couples have perfected their skills at succeeding in the least organized environment they can possibly create. And just why is that? Here are some possibilities. »

Couples Collecting Art

In our art gallery in Santa Fe , the most magical moment is the instant when a prospective client first encounters and emotionally connects with a specific piece of art. Most often they don’t need to say anything for me to realize that some sort of communication between them and the art is happening. The response can be very subtle-maybe just a certain look in their eyes. Some people’s faces slightly redden almost as if they’re developing a crush on someone. I’ve also seen people tear up and even others out and out cry. »
