Any one been following Bravo's latest hit Million Dollar Decorators? While it is very entertaining, I have to admit that it doesn't paint the best picture of high-end professional designers. I've even read a fellow blogger's post exclaiming that after she watched the first episode she had the sudden urge to quit her job! What I think is the most striking is the level of shallowness associated with decor that is portrayed. It really got me thinking, is this field that I adore so much just a bunch of showy and unnecessary fluff?? What is the goal we are trying to achieve?
Ok, gotta admit I am in love with Mary's style, those red doors with oversized pulls get me every time!
This is an important point to realize, how many decor/home reno shows have you seen where the kids are just as thrilled with a home makeover as their parents? And I'm not just talking about their bedrooms, I'm talking kitchens and living rooms and the like!! The first season of Sarah 101 featured a beautiful kitchen reno , and I distinctly remember the homeowner mentioning that the kids now LOVED to do there homework in the space and just generally hang out there. Now that's what design should aim to accomplish, don't you think?
I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts on this topic. And just out of curiousity, do you have any experiences/memories of being affected by design as a young child? Do you have children who have already shown signs of being affected by their surroundings? What do you think a designer's aim should be?
