Michelle Morelan from A Schematic Life and I met for a latte last week and she surprised me with this drawing of a room I designed for one of my lovely clients (see the rest of the space here).


Here’s the actual image below.    A few months ago, Michelle drew a villa I rented while in Provence  see that post here.  Michelle is an interior designer as well as an artist and I am so lucky to be a part of her circle!

I featured this apartment the first month I started blogging because I had just finished my website and wrote a post about styling for photo shoots and why it’s a good idea to hire a professional photographer (if you need images for your website!).

I’m so thrilled to be a part of ‘A Schematic Life’s’ rendering collection!

    Maria– I went back and read the post about styling for photo shoots. I like how you interweave business tips and experience with your color posts, such as Why Blogging is Good for Your Career, and Should you pay for a room to be re-painted? They are mini tutorials, and I love reading them.

  4. Kelee Katillac says:

    Lovely rendering!!! Such an advantage to have good illustrations for clients!

  5. Struggler says:

    I’m wondering, will you keep it, or will you give it to the client as a gift? I can see value in both tactics!

  6. Meade Design Group says:

    Maria there is your header right there. You just need to imprint your name there. That rendering is amazing and it is your work.

  7. Lauren says:

    Yes love that rug too!!! Michelle is so taltented- you guy shave a great circle!!!
    xoxo have missed you while I was away!! 🙂

  8. DesignTies says:

    I love Michelle’s rendering almost as much as I love the room you created for your client! The two of you are terrific, Maria!!

    Hi Maria
    Great design you did for that room and now it is immortalized in Michelle’s wonderful rendering. Maybe one day it will be hanging in a Gallery on a retrospective of her work and yours.
