This weekend is your last opportunity to check out the 15th annual Tacoma Arts Month. Tacoma brings cultural events, exhibits, and workshops together helping people connect with their community. Many of the events offered are even free! To look up the specific activities visit http://tacomaartsmonth.com/.

On Friday, September 23rd Fernanda D'Agostino's Suyama Space Installation of "Generativity" will take place at 5PM. This exhibit features a performance by Isabelle Choiniere; complete with sculpture, video projections, coding and sound. "Generativity" explores how nature shapes and regenerates itself and viewers of the exhibit find themselves in a constantly changing space. Come take in Fernanda D'Agostino's unique creation.

By creating a comprehensive collection of inspiration images for the mood board, and referencing it periodically as the project progresses, you and your designer will be able to build a final design that clearly reflects your desired outcome for the space. If you have a future project in mind, I recommend gathering images as early in possible. That way you are ready to hit the ground running when it comes time to start the process. Happy collecting!

We appreciate the usefulness of a well-designed screen that is both aesthetically pleasing and a powerful workhorse. Need to divide a space without constructing permanent walls? Either a freestanding or ceiling hung partition could be the answer. Maybe you want to obscure an unsightly view of the neighbor’s garage. A screen that lets light filter through while obscuring the view could enhance your living space. How about providing some privacy with acoustic benefits in an open office layout? Yes, there are partitions for that too. We even found a screen with built-in storage. Enjoy perusing some of our favorite screen time options.

Forget the blue tape - here are some great projects where paint goes beyond coloring between the lines and actually defines space, surfaces, and light.

We love the graphic effect of this yellow painted "mantle".

Overpainting casings provide heft and stature to an otherwise standard door opening.

Black painted "wainscoting" provides contrast and depth.

Orange accent trim creates the illusion of dynamic movement with a pop of color.

Black paint on the ceiling and floor defines a smaller space within the larger space.

An otherwise subtle light fixture is given prominence by dramatic painted "light" on the facade.
