Io.OGGI

Io.Io odio chiudermi in palestra...odio mangiare sano...odio bere 3 litri di acqua  al giorno...odio le cure detox e le diete...odio l'insalata...odio le tisane al finocchio...odio quelli che mi dicono che ero piu bella quando ero piu magra...mi piace il vino...la pizza...il cranberry vodka...la pasta..e piu sugo  c è piu mi piace...se ci fosse qualkuno che mi trasportasse da un posto allaltro probabilmente non andrei neanche al cesso camminando...passerei giornate oziando e chiaccherando con gli amici...passerei la mia vita in vacanza e penso che non mi annoierei..  lascerei tutto per lui  e mi chiuderei per mesi in una casa sperduta e mi farei chiamare chiusona sorridendo e godendo... se potessi campare di disegni e di idee e di parole sarei bilionaria...ma non lo sono. Mi piace il profumo amaro dell'oceano anche se da casa mia non si sente. Mi piace scrivere...anche se nessuno mi legge.

Extreme makeover in 21 days of a house in santa monica!

http://www.facebook.com/pages/manage/updates.php?id=80558421401&sent=1&e=0#!/album.php?aid=194072&id=80558421401&ref=mf

 Tired but happy....just finished the extreme makeover of a private house in Santa Monica...

The client called me and he told me his wife was leaving for 3 weeks...he wanted to do a extreme makeover while she was away...everything in secrete,...because he wanted to surprise her.

3 weeks????A

he wanted something sexy...modern.. completely change the feeling of  the dark and out of date house they were living in.

PANIC...what can i do... how all the furniture could arrive in time...so i called the painter to calm down the stress and after 4 days the house was completely painted with new colors...grey black red..the grey opened up the space amazingly...the red was giving a touch of sexy to the bedroom...the black on the entrance ( following the Feng Shui Philosophy ) should bring good stuff on a career level..success and luck!

After a week the stress went away...it was just fun...shopping and seeing my concept becoming real so quicly!

usally hospitality design projects take from 6 months to years to be completed!

so i chose to mark the walls with adhesive vinyl ( ctrl-arch tatoo), artwork created by different artists ( my dad too) and i bought pieces of design as the alienology lamp to give a modern and unique touch to the house!

Pieces of design and artist rigorously talented but not "branded"...custom furniture...and touch of my craziness. 

so...the day is so close....we missed so much stuff.... we will arrive to do the extreme makeover in 3 weeks????

 we did.

I ' ve just received a call from the wife...many thanks and compliments...I'm smiling. 

I like to make people happy with my dreams!
