“For me, the creation of a place is spirituality in life. It’s where life meets soul…”
– Marcelle Guilbeau
Are you dreaming of a place that reflects the passions of the people that dwell within?
In order to create a place that gives people joy, you need to attune to the things that make them feel alive, and the things they love to do. In the home, I call this your Soul Style. In the workplace, it’s the Core Values which feed the mission. Sometimes we are lucky enough to happen upon a place that reflects our inner compass (the place has good bones or a happy vibe). But more often, we create it.

Dream Home
The building or renovating of a dream home isn’t for the faint of heart. It also is important to keep your perspective. The home is an outer reflection of who you are and where you are in life. It can change a lot, even after you have created that magnificent dream home.
How to do Eclectic Design

I have a process that allows them to get very clear on whether they are traditionalists, modernists, sensualists, or practicalist at heart. (You can learn more about that process here). Today, however, I am going to discuss an additional design style that is unique and fun, and that can be integrated into all four soul styles — And so enters, Eclecticism.
