Here is your reminder to...
..take care of yourself and your quality of life. 🕊️

Everyone has been feeling the effects of the economy this year, and many are apprehensive about the upcoming election. Despite any struggles or stressors, it's important to stay grounded and focused on your goals and growth. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Are you waiting to start that wellness routine, visit your bucket list destination, or perhaps create the room, home, or business of your dreams? Are you holding back from being your best self?

Don't wait. Don't put your life on hold. Life is a gift—too short to waste on dreaming instead of action. ✨

Save this, so you never forget how important it is to stay focused on your quality of life! 📌

You Are Not Alone 💪🏼

When the client from Writer’s Repose came to me about the project, they had no idea how they were going to transform the dated home into what it is today. 😵‍💫

With lots of TLC, GBD transformed it into the masterpiece it is now, providing the client with a fantastic home to share with loved ones.

They had ZERO idea where to start, but they began with GLORIA BLACK DESIGN. They were unsure about the dated exterior and what look they wanted. They just knew it needed to be new, fresh, inviting, and surrounded by colorful plant life. 🌿 They didn't know what custom cabinetry and built-ins would be needed, but GBD designed and had them built by the best in the industry.

But then, what finishes, such as tile and stone, would be needed to cover the vast square footage requiring a gut rehab? 🤔

GBD handled all the selections with ease. In fact, the client gave GBD carte blanche on most of the design, knowing Gloria would choose show-stopping finishes sure to please for years to come. Through thoughtful, original design, Writer’s Repose was transformed into the award-winning home it is today. 🏆

The client, who couldn't always be present on-site or in Florida for design decisions, moved into their turn-key home with ease and excitement, ready to entertain. 🛥️

Are you struggling with decisions? Are you overwhelmed with the choices? Are you tired of the lack of progress? Do you not know where to start at all? 🤯

GBD is here to create a beautiful, personalized lifestyle just for you. 🕊️

THE ART OF YOU

GLORIA BLACK DESIGN is a South Florida-based Interior Design Studio that specializes in bespoke, luxury design. Serving #GBDclients nationwide!

Many of us live in homes made with little or no knowledge of us. They are another’s vision of how a home can be, and we either relate to it or we don’t.

How would you like to step into spaces that speak to and connect with you because they ARE you?

GLORIA BLACK DESIGN creates original interiors and artwork for high-end homes in Southwest Florida, Chicago and beyond. Combining insight and honesty with whimsy and style, we transform standard spaces into extensions of the real you. Make your interiors as distinctive as you are - and have a blast doing it too.
