Naples, Florida, USA

I have met so many wonderful people all over the world that live in beautiful places and therefore decided to share some photographs of where I live. We have lived in beautiful Naples, Florida in the USA since moving here from South Africa thirteen years ago. A favorite saying of mine is, "Bloom where you are planted!" We have done just that!

Spring!

After a long and cold winter here in Florida......spring has arrived! I have decided to share some photographs with you of things I enjoyed these past few days! (Click on image to enlarge)

Delicious fresh berries...!! We had it for breakfast...I don't think I have ever had berries with CREAM for breakfast. (I like to do things that is not the normal...smile...)

Our kitty cat watching life go by at our kitchen window.....

A mommy duck with her little ones enjoying the first rain water....... All these pictures of the ducks were taken on the golf course outside our kitchen.

A beautiful bird singing in the tree....

Outside my window a few days before Easter.......what I saw was an answer to prayer! Isn't it amazing?

Interior Of A Concierge Doctor's Office

Today I would like to share an interior design project I did for a concierge doctor's office. This is one of my most favorite projects I did and working with the client was such a joy! Many of you might not know what a concierge doctor's office is..... It is a personalized care practice where you pay the doctor a member fee which enables you to call on the doctor whenever you have a health concern. Patients can schedule an appointment the same day and won't have the long wait when they arrive for their appointment. Patients can take as much time as they need to ask questions and will receive complete answers from a skilled and compassionate physician who knows them well. Traditionally the family physician built a relationship with all patients based on time and trust and personalized care brings that kind of doctor/patient relationship to the forefront again.

My client wanted the waiting area to be elegant with an aura of romance and glamour in the Mediterranean style.

The reception area with a waterfall I designed in the background.

While sitting on the sofa and waiting to see the doctor the patient looks at this beautiful trompe l'oeil mural of an Italian garden scene that leads his or her eye to the distant horizon.

All architecture work was done by my husband Arno.
