    • This week I have been approached by 2 aspiring interior designers, asking me questions about my job while they try to figure out if it is something for them… Have you ever stopped mid task and thought “this is my job. This is my life?” It has happened to me a few times over the years, but two moments stand out while I am being interviewed. 1. Frantic moments before a project handover - there I was rushing to my car as I tried to keep hold of a bucket and a dripping mop, scrupled news paper under my arm and cleaning detergents squeezed between my toddler sized fingers. My hair loosened from my pony tail being wind swept into my sweaty face… I remember thinking, if only you could see me now… haha. 2. The moment my team completed this rope wall I designed, photographed above, it was a total risk, something we had never done before. We were nervous, it was an idea I had sold and we weren’t even sure if it would would work but the moment it was up was ground breaking - It was more beautiful than I could imagine, I believed in myself and the trust in my team grew. These small victories set you up for bigger and better things, like treads on a ladder. As an Interior Designer I find myself being being less of a designer and more of an organiser. I spend 80% of my time managing people, suppliers and their mess ups than I do dreaming of beautiful functional spaces… But I am resourceful, resilient and determined to create beautiful things. Id love to hear about moments that have stopped you in your tracks - Where in the world are you from and what is your job? #melissalouiseinteriors

    • Introducing our next project, The Armoury - take a tour with me now over on our stories. (I’ve saved it to highlights if you are seeing this late) It’s a beautiful, spacious studio apartment with good bones and plenty of old world charm! Quick lesson in Interior design speak - In general, a home with “good bones” is considered to be a home with the potential to be a great. It typically describes a fixer-upper or some sort of neglected house (think: diamond in the rough) that features quality, well-made construction - in this case old world industrial!
