 Happy 2021!  Hope you all are well and looking forward to this New Year.

2020 definitely was a challenging year in many ways, but there were also many positive things that we would like to make note of:

Our anniversary:  SK Designs celebrated 25 years in business in October!  We were so busy we didn't even have time to recognize this milestone on social media, or send a newsletter, or update our blog!


Our office space:  we updated, expanded, organized and brightened our office exterior and interior.

Website: we are in the process of updating our website right now, and expect it to go "live" within a week or so.  Can't wait to show it to you!

We will be sharing these things and more in more detail with you this year.

Our first share is the revitalized exterior of our studio. Last year we added a bright and festive yellow and white exterior rug, which I loved.  Recently I made and added the black and white scallopped awnings to the entrance doors.  As we all know, one thing leads to another.  I loved the high contrast of the black and white, but now I wanted to paint the white office doors.

Since yellow is my favorite color, I painted the door pale yellow, but it faded away.  The new black and white rug really grounded the entry and demanded a stronger color.  I tried a few shades of turquoise/teal, which coordinate with my logo and also the butterfly bench.  Love it!  

My husband also ripped down the old and tacky carport near the office entrance.  It had protected his beloved barbecue smoker, which is why we kept the carport for so long. That item has now been moved to another protected area, which meant the carport's time to depart had arrived at last! While the carport did provide some protective covering while walking from the house to the studio, it was dark underneath and felt claustrophobic. 


The photo collage shows the evolution of the entry door.  I also added the embroidery hoop "Welcome" decor (thank you, Etsy!) and the wrought iron piece featuring scissors as the centerpiece, which had been on the wall in my office.  

It is fun to walk into my studio with the new bright and happy entrance.


Thank you for supporting SK Designs and being part of our exciting journey of growth.  We love our clients and are honored to have assisted so many Houston area homeowners with their window treatment and bedding projects.

  1. Let me share this on your lovely blog, A neighbor of mine developed dementia & diabetes, then her husband died, no children or family nearby. I am thankful our closest neighbor, an African American woman, introduced Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, A traditional herbal doctor in which we purchased a herbal product for her through his Dr Itua online herbs store. A former social worker stepped in and led the way to place the widow in a care facility. We visit nearly every week until she finishes drinking Dr Itua herbal medicines, if possible. The two of us take simple games, puzzles, and matching cards to do with her, staying about 2 hours. Jenga, Trouble, puzzles 100pcs or less, 20 cards to match (total-not 40!). The fishing game where the fish open and shut their mouths as they go around is lots of fun! We sit and chat with her until she gets well again, then we pull out a game and the three of us laugh together as we play. We take a variety of things to do so that we won't get bored. She finished Dr Itua herbal medicines and she's fine now and doing better with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicines, Dr Itua cures different illnesses with his herbal medicines. Anyone having a sick person should reach Dr Itua email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua Cure Alzheimer's,Cancer,Parkinson,Hiv,Herpes,Hpv,Kidney disease,Diabetes,Hepatitis, We hug and hold hands a lot. Having two of us go together really helps. But I can go alone, my neighbor cannot, as she saw so much of this during her years as a social worker. I hope this specific list helps others in this situation.
    Thanks.
