Susan Serra Saves My Saturday
Guess who drinks Nescafe frappes whenever she gets a chance? Guess who made herself plain macaroni and arugula for dinner tonight? Guess who has a disaster in her kitchen right now? Not The Kitchen Designer, Susan Serra. Oh no siree, not Susan. My hero, my lifeline on a Saturday night.
Susan's going to whip me and the kitchen into shape in no time. Tonight she suggested a curtain for beneath the sink. I said I wanted country, quirky, retro style, but then I nixed the idea. But what do you guys think?

Dear Scrappy...go with your first instinct. Don't let yourself be distracted by someone else's great style. YOU have great style. Now make it happen.
go for what you want! it's your space. details, like the under the sink fabric, are opportunities to express yourself.
do you have some photos or tear sheets of what you have in mind? show them to susan. also have some colors in mind or even hardware like drawer pulls or cabinet knobs. maybe pull out some key favorite pieces that are already in your kitchen to set the tone and/or inspire? another consideration will be budget. when you sit down and discuss with susan, it's important to be part of the process and outline what you're looking for. it will be appreciated. her job is to come up with something that's personal, functional and pleasing to you.
