In honor of Father's Day, I'd like to take this opportunity to answer one of the most FAQ's I get on the blog and in my inbox. I just received this email a few days ago…
"Hi Sarah...Seeing all of your work I can't help but wonder how you got started with your passion for interior design and your online design business…Interior design is a career path that not many people choose to take so its always exciting to see inspiring work like yours…"
Although I really enjoyed my job as a banker, my heart's always been in decorating. I realized design was my true calling when my bank clients started coming to see me with paint chips and fabric samples. What made me finally take the plunge and leave my banking career?
My Dad.
A Detroit area newspaper wrote an article about him titled "Doing What You Love". It was a full page article in the sports section about his passion for his job as a long time golf course superintendant. A few years after the article was published we lost him to a four month battle with cancer at the age of 57. His passion for his job (and his love for his family) got him through the difficult days at the end. I found comfort knowing although his life was short, it was full and passionate. He spent every day doing what he loved.

Happy Father's Day, Dad. Thank you, for inspiring me to follow my obsession with passion for design. My business is doing well and I'm so happy to be doing what I love.
