You may not know exactly what you want or it may be hard to articulate what you want. Even if you are great at communicating your needs, there isn't necessarily one “correct” design solution for you—there could be many. Unlike hiring a plumber to fix a leak, solving a design problem is far more subjective. Regardless, there are some strategies that can help make your “one time” consult a success. 10 Jan 2011 12:00:00 GMT http://www.scroggiestudio.com/articles/2010/D-List.html The reality for me is a little different than what I see and read in the pages of design magazines, and that's okay with me. A successful project is less about creating a magazine-worthy room than about meeting the needs of the client. 19 May 2010 12:00:00 GMT http://www.scroggiestudio.com/articles/2009/Scroggie-Studio-3.0.html My goal with the new site is to showcase the kind of work I do so that clients have a gallery of styles to look at if they would like to pursue a custom furnishing order or discuss how I might be able to help them with their interior design needs. 22 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.scroggiestudio.com/articles/2008/Design-for-2009.html From the inception of my Studio Scroggie, I've tried to provide affordable style to my clients--whether in my "reinvented" furniture that sells for a fraction of the cost of retail pieces, or in my interior design work. 18 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.scroggiestudio.com/articles/2008/Small-Budget-Chic-Taste.html From Megu Restaurant's upstairs lounge where you can see a few of my pieces (left), or in one of the apartments I've help redecorate, I specialize in reinventing interiors and furnishings so that they have a fun and funky look. 29 Sep 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.scroggiestudio.com/articles/2008/Pretty-in-Paint.html Glazes, which I create by thinning latex paints with water and urethane, allow me to use layers to get much more interesting tones and dimension with my painted finishes. 4 Aug 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.scroggiestudio.com/articles/2008/Mirror-Mirror.html My baroque style red lacquered mirror is the most popular piece I've ever had. I still get people calling about it. 29 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.scroggiestudio.com/articles/2008/My-Style.html My red side chest was truly a "reinvention" and I think was probably the best example of my signature style--fun and funky, but also chic and sophisticated. 7 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.scroggiestudio.com/articles/2008/Scroggie-Studio-2.0.html It is taking some wrestling, but with a little patience and the help of Apple's iWeb software, I'm going to put even more functionality into this website. 31 May 2008 12:00:00 GMT
