SAFARI EXOTIC ANIMAL CARE CENTER - I designed this beautiful 10,000 sq ft space for some fantastic doctors! I sketched out my concept and design for the reception desk below while sitting in my garage! When inspiration hits, run with it!

granite and tumbled marble for reception desk

My concepts began with the reception desk I designed using a local mill tree. I concepted the use of a vertical tree in the cat hotel room, but we decided to maximize that design with my friend and fabulous painter, Boris, in a painted theme of a global hotel. We incorporated trees in the other areas. I selected this wonderful tumbled marble counter tile, granite countertops, warm tile flooring installed on a vertical angle, custom reception chairs with faux croc, teak benches and shelving root trees, handcarved Indian bookshelf unit, custom art from my equally fabulous graphic designer, exotic wallpaper, Asian stools, Safari fabric, plants, accessories, etc...
Lots of space planning, color palette selection, shopping, collaborating, etc. LOVE the docs and their staff! Wonderful clients doing wonderful things for domestic and exotic animals. More photos coming!

May Repost for my new client: BATHROOM BEFORE AND AFTER REDESIGN: I designed and did all of the tile work. Fun!

My Interior Design for Safari Animal Care Center - My sketched concepts on a napkin over wine and marqueritas! I based my designs on my oil paintings and the Wendy House I worked on for the Alley Theatre's "Peter Pan".

Sourced - fantastic local mill and Lowe's. The docs built it themselves. They do wonderful things for people and animals... and quietly walk our planet sporting halos and smiles.

FUN WEEK of creative designing! My camera phone didn't capture the cool tunnels I created with organic materials, body parts, florals, etc... no flash! These were works in progress, so the cool factor doesn't show.

Love to my John-John for this wonderful project, and enjoyed working with amazing artists and new friends - Kat, amaaaazing design chick, Mark - uber talented artist in Dallas along with Kurt - Dallas architect extraordinaire! Jim - blown away by your creative vision!

New kitchen tile, countertops, sink, hardware, etc... I tiled 1/4 of the backsplash myself, created the design and selected the materials. Finished final updates three months ago. Love! Many compliments.

Halloween! Mandy's Ghostbusters Party! Sorceress me. Sign of a good party: your makeup wears off by the end of the night from laughing so hard you cry.

Me texting...takes away the Bulgarian scare factor. :)
