OMG, I love October, and I am missing it already. Today, I say goodbye to my favorite month until next year!

It is a new day, and aside from waking up beyond blessed, I must first thank God. The most extraordinary designer, architect, and creator ever. At an early age, he gave me the desire to dream BIG. I took hold and held tight, and it became a creative avenue to seek my passion as an interior designer. I am awe-struck because of the excitement of awakening daily and continuing to live out what has become a reality; I sometimes need someone to pinch me. And the bonus of having a gift to paint artistically on canvas and professionally within interior spaces, while styling them is a triple blessing.

However, I am wildly excited, and my head is sitting high above the clouds for a different reason; today, I have some great news. Would you like to know what it is?

Okay, a new Interior Design Book called "Inspired Interiors" hit the market on September 1st. It features Amazing Rooms Imagined and Decorated by the Nation's Leading Interior Designers. Who is one of the featured designers? If Kimberly C. Lyons, the designer behind KCL-IDESIGN, LLC (INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO), comes to mind, you are correct. Trust me; nothing is like a feature representing what you were born to do. So, I am jumping for joy, screaming my head off, and shouting Hallelujah!

As a designer, there is so much strategic planning when creating, designing, and styling rooms. Incorporating the elements and principles of design throughout spaces to make them aesthetically pleasing and bring pure happiness to the occupants takes knowledge and patience. Moreover, the function of each room is essential, and a client's vision should become a reality while featuring their authentic and original style. To receive an acknowledgment with a feature for my accomplishments is truly a blessing, and I am forever grateful! The bottom line is to bring enjoyment and happiness to people in their newly styled interior surroundings, which I was born to do.
