A Design Award! Stop Da Presses.......

I finally get to share this bit of news that I've been holding in for a few weeks. I've been selected as the recipient of the Z Gallerie 2013 Fall/Winter Design Award.
Humbled, honored, blessed are just a few of the words I can find to describe how this feels. 
As many of you know, I'm not a classically trained designer. I'm just a girl who followed her passion/obsession for design, studied quietly, worked my way up from the bottom, by learning the gritty work of the trade and now here we are. 
Thankful for all the clients who have handed over their keys, and cash, and trusted me to work my magic.
Thankful even more for having the best design team a girl could ask for - hats off to Debbie, Shaggy, Roy, Dennis and Tamisha for making me look good. The bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne that came with that award will be shared!
Here are a few of the the projects, featuring Z Gallerie pieces, that I submitted.

Sophie Mirrored Dining Table and mirrored buffet.
Brooke Hexagon Coffee Table
Venezia Chandelier
Z Gallerie accessories including the Alligator Bookend
Astair Nesting Tables
 Thanks even more to all of you for following along this little journey. And huge thanks to the hubby and Xavier for tolerating my insane work schedule and loving and supporting me through it all. Hugs and Besos. Now back to work!
