EverInteriors - Interior Design Project
Like many others that are in the same chapter of life that I’m in - my inner monologue is almost always in a constant state of indecision - my subconscious craving the simple pleasures, slowing down, romanticizing life and pausing to enjoy life’s fleeting moments while they’re still here - while simultaneously having the attention deficit, dopamine-lacking part of my mind contemplating with my intuition and fabricating a false narrative that nags we’re running out of time. This mindset and lifestyle our generation is pressured to be a part of - a constant state of hurriedness, an imaginary urgency - rushing from one thing to the next, all in the name of making unrealistic deadlines we so unnecessarily create for ourselves.
Honestly, I’ll probably always try and find a deeper meaning for the upmost basic day-to-day scenarios but this home interior session felt like a true metaphor of living an entire life in a day.. EverInteriors designer - Madison and myself, prepped and prepared for this shoot, months in advance, looking forward to all the endless possibilities two creatives can envision together over Pinterest. We arrived with the entire day ahead of ourselves - Madison as per usual, in her typical nature - taking care of every minor detail you could imagine there would even be in such a gorgeous, captivating Twilight-vibes type of sanctuary. From painting tiny streaks of gold into the fireplace hearth to replacing the “sulky” flowers - she had anything and everything dialled in - as she does. We collaboratively staged the clients home for minimalism, took hundreds of images, yet by sun down we were still chasing all the many visions and potential shots we both dreamt up together. We rushed our hearts out until the last glimmer of daylight was gone and even then we used our last shreds of creativity to complete the less elaborate tasks on the shot lists with artificial lighting. It felt as it always does, rushed - running out of time, cheese nibbs and jalapeño jerkey. By the end of the day even with my green thumb deprived perception - could see the flowers truly then were wilting on us. But like every end of day, post session analysis, we came to the oh-so-familiar realization and conclusion - we were content. We were more than simply just content, we were thrilled. Just. like. that. I’m honestly not 100% certain where I was going with this blog post - it has been a while .. I guess writing in a gratitude journal for a couple of years really inspires the search for life lessons to be found daily and well I guess there you have it. I can’t say I don’t enjoy taking everything seriously and finding the meaning in the moment. So if you made it this far woah. Enjoy the reap to our sew.
