Silk introducing Moire

I am a lover of literature and in the stories that I have read (and there have been many) I have come across characters who without a doubt could change the world.  In real life - we cross paths with many individuals but only a handful of those that you come across WILL change the world.  Chintz and Moire are two of those people.  I have been fortunate enough to have both of them in my life and could tell you all about each of them but right now I want to direct your attentions to the incomparable... Moire. Today it is my pleasure to share her with you (consider yourselves extremely lucky!).

Moire is one of the most focused people that I have met.  She has the innate talent of creating order out of complete chaos.  She is our resident "green" diva, a role model for eco-consciousness.  She has the ability to REALLY SEE into any situation, approach it with a discerning eye and create solutions that make life much easier.  Her skills and talents also extend to varied areas which include making quilts that tell stories, preparing mouth-watering dishes, and even writing page-turning novels. 

Not only does Moire have a mind and an eye for beautiful design, she also brings to our table her practical sensibilities and a keen business savvy.  If you ever meet her ask her to teach you how to juggle, a talent she extends into all parts of her life.  The inner balance Moire carries with her is truly why she is such an inspiration to this little diva and hopefully she will become an inspiration to you.

Moire introducing Chintz

Chintz is one of the most talented and versatile designers I know! His attention to detail knows no bounds and even the most miniscule element of a design in considered with the same importance as the bigger picture. A star all through the Art Institute, everyone knew that once he graduated he would shine even brighter.

He loves a luxurious feel to his environment, and knows how to create it without breaking the bank. Chintz's own home is spectacular; a mix of divergent elements that he brings together to express his soul perfectly. He epitomises the Kahlil Gibran quote: "Your home is your greater self".

Hospitality is a word I most often associate with Chintz, (as well as titillation, but that's a story for a different day!) His parties are always dazzling, again with every detail considered for his guests' comfort and enjoyment. He's the kind of person who redecorates for an event, pulling elements into the space to create the perfect theme.

So, it is no surprise to us girls that he has ended up designing exclusive hotels for a living.

Chintz introducing Silk

Chintz here!

Our first mission of this blog is to each introduce one of the other design divas.  So I hope you are sitting down.....Let the experience begin.....

Though I am never at a loss for words, it proves quite difficult to describe someone as rare as Silk.  Try to imagine a combination of an amazingly powerful personality tempered with boundless energy.  Take that combination and add a large splash of ingenuity and curiosity, then mix in a ton of talent.  Can you grasp all that?  Well, now add a large portion of exotic beauty and zest of laughter.  Now you have Silk.

Silk approaches every situation with a positive attitude and confidence in knowing that there isn't a situation that she can't pick apart and put back together in the most fabulous of manners.  She works and plays at a break-neck speed while always making time to connect with friends and family.  She values those in her life and selflessly gives all she can to help anyone in need.

Silk has a vast knowledge of a variety of subjects from medicine and chicken adobo to fine art and karaoke.  Her design style is quite varied as well.  She is as comfortable in minimalist modern as she is in any period of Louis. Yes, she is a complex one, our Silk. She is a natural born leader (as are all the divas here) and can make the impossible seem effortless.
