Seeing IS Believing!

At INspiration Interiors
A Furniture Store at 
The Design Center
1250 Kapiolani, Blvd 
Honolulu, Hi 
Updates at:
http://www.inspirationinteriors.com

The basics easily can become unique, the unusual your reality – Modern classics like you never thought of before!

Modern, Retro, Mid-century…what do you like?

What is the latest? How are you going to use that FABULOUS piece … possibly with others you already  have or not, where, how with what, to be you? Questions asked even if only to oneself.

We can bring those questions into the light of INspiration. No problem- well actually easy problems to solve? I say to my Clients, tell me your problem, so I can present you a solution. ANSWERS for good design need to be related to you! What is done for one person usually is not the best answer for another.

Bringing in the new and fabulous with your wants and needs can be exciting and fun to what can be a  stressful time. It can bring new benefits of technology and design right into your plan for Living!

We can take a better lounge chair for your comfort and turn it into a more fashionable space for many a  place. Make it yours with specific choices or mix it, in a way, with other selected furniture. Tone it down, zip it up with color, texture… give it more slick with other modern pieces around it. Use that piece where? How? Never imagined that. Sometimes seeing is realizing possibilities…!

Let’s BE INSPIRED together at the Seminar at INspiration Interiors a Furniture Store- where we can talk  and every choice does makes a difference!

See you there! 1st Floor

-FAB FIND For Room Or Event

With Kathy Gurski
‘Your Designer For Better Living’
http://www.kathygurskidesign.com

FAB FIND For Room Or Event- can easily be found in -your closet! See that interesting item over there… What you may think is just an old piece of fabric or unused object can be the start to a whole new room or event!

Fabric can be used in many ways.
-Fabric can be draped to cover or divide, or freshen a needed area.
-Fabric can also be used for a dining experience or event, covering a table to start or even for a picnic indoors!

-I have created an interesting functional art niche from a closet, draping simple material where doors once were. Maybe not soo simple, draped from a vintage doorknocker, taking simple existing to a whole new vision.

-Yet for a birthday dinner in a parking lot setting I created, I used fabric as a floating wall backdrop to create an area amid nothing, yet interesting when you looked up to be surrounded by cityscape.

-That same fabric can be a start to recover worn or needed refreshing to a chair, sofa or pillow, which is a good start to roll on the rest of the room. 


Often I use items clients already have in a variety of new ways and in new places. These items are found when reviewing existing. Reuse is yet another way to be more green for the environment too. 
-A strange unused tray can serve to be fab for a theme dinner or as art on the wall…
-Container for… can be well placed on the floor as well as on a table.
-So also true is what you might see needed to be in a corner can possibly be elevated on a table.

So what’s that interesting item over there- in your closet?! Possibilities are endless.

With creative vision we can create a whole new room or an event that just may leave you with more than dirty dishes!

Inquire about my review of a room, space, or planning a dinner / special event. There are affordable ways to keep you going forward with -Better Living. Let’s get into your closet!

-Getting A Start
For Better Living!

With Kathy Gurski
‘Your Designer For Better Living’
http://www.kathygurskidesign.com

You finally made your decision that you want more from your living. What’s in Your Plan? Travelling or Staying Back, Planning a Special Party or Event or do you just want MORE from your Home or Business Space?! 

Thinking, that even after all your valuable work or travel, you want to come ‘Home’ to MORE?! Are there dreams of a more relaxing bathroom home spa, more fabulous easy to use kitchen, new exterior to use as interior or interior to feel more like outside, other living /entertaining areas or more for your work space to make it, even easier, more productive to use and help to afford it all! We can work on any one or all of it. 

Not sure where to start, I SAY, “let’s get a start with – YOUR CLOSET!” The closet you say?— ab-so-lutely!  The closet is one of the most least thought of spaces, yet most often used spaces, next being, the Bathroom.  The closet is not even thought of as a room, even though, it most certainly can become one! 

-Closet space is definitely missed, if we haven’t enough whether at home, at work or even as we travel. 

-Starting with the closet, can reveal some of those often forgotten or unknown treasures, that can be cleverly used, again, in many ways and places. 

-With the closet more together, it gives you the sense of accomplishment and assists to make you ready for – MORE!.


Whether you have enough closets isn’t always the problem, rather it is how well it is planned to make its’ use be enough for your needs. Can you easily access your immediate needs, less used items or treasures, whether they be to wear or use where and when you want and need them? Sounds simple, yet so often we struggle with ‘our things’. Too often, the space is wasted and items get needlessly lost and forgotten. 

With the many kinds of actual closet systems and methods of storage available, it is the plan that makes  the difference. With varied creative solutions and different combinations, you can have a more custom, yet economical space, that will give results that are right for you! 

-No two closets, as with any space, will be alike, as no two people are alike- with the exception of a hotel closet, where even there, you make it your own.

-Your closet can be well planned, conservatively, to organize, hold and access more, more easily, making it easier to use for…. 

-We can create in a wide range of luxury for a retreat with many vary degrees of chic between, that you just  might prefer. 

-We can get it comfortably together, which can be a luxury in itself! You choose the degree of luxury and  comfort right for you.

-With your closet set up for more efficient living, you can be more ready for that quick get away, special  event and everyday.

-To easily find that preferred suitcase, briefcase or bag and have a place to put it to fill, more comfortably  and even quietly is a simple, yet welcome start.

-To easily find what you want for different activities, whether on the go or stay at home makes for a less  stressful more productive start for any day.

-With various kinds of shelving there can be easier access for clothing, gear, even space for supplies or  your own mini library. 

-A range of drawers, bins or boxes can hold those much needed items or want to be found luxuries. 

-Well placed hooks or holders, reminds you of where those often used items will be, while specialty holders  make it easier to select ties, belts, scarves, find those supplies or items for that meeting, fishing or trip to  the beach. 

To prepare ourselves for work or play, whether men, women or children is of importance for each one of  us. Having our preparation be easier and with some style can be even more rewarding. Everyday or a  getaway you can enjoy being more ready. After all, you never know, when that meeting of a lifetime, trip to Tahiti or the Big Island may come up!

Not a lot of space, means using what you do have, even more wisely, in different ways, and planned for  each situation.

-For one of my Clients, I removed existing bedroom closet doors, adding furniture designed as built-ins,  for increased organized space, coordinating added storage within the room furniture for a customize yet economical space.The plan made good use of that more compact living with style.

-In another compact situation, still removing a closet door, created a functional art/storage niche, that not  only had storage, but visually opened up the space, adding an interesting customized feature draped with  fabric.

-For a larger space, even though the Client had space, I gave the Client more for that space. There was better more luxurious storage from custom wood armoires seen through archways from within the bedroom. The custom pieces were combined with a simpler storage system, seen only from within the closet. It had varied specialty storage areas, also with a compact office area, each with their own type of lighting… A closet can become another room!  

More and varied types of storage, access, art, sound, a library, a place to sit, write, have morning coffee,  mend, iron- it all comes out, with the planning for ‘YOUR SPACE’. 
-Each space and Client are unique and so the results to acheive. 
-If you are unsure of what you dream, from our conversation with my creative knowledge, I can help  you dream and put it together for you.  
-Your closet can be a source, a haven, a retreat or just be made into more- storage, easily used and  beautiful. 
-You can more easily find and use some of those ‘treasures’ to wear or use for away or your at home living.

What else is in that closet?! 
-You may have the start for a plan for change for a room or use for a ‘special dinner or event’. 
-What is that interesting item, over there!? 

Come, go, stay- let’s get into -Your Closet!

The Better Side of Thirteen

Posted in Kathy Gurski Design LLC by kathygurski on January 13, 2014

The Better Side of Thirteen
– The Inspiration of Page Thirteen
of The PhotoART GALLERY@
www.kathygurskidesign.com

Shared With You By Kathy Gurski

The 13th Day of The 13th Month
Following The 12 Months of 2013

Let the notable significance of the number thirteen, intended for this Page 13 of The PhotoART GALLERY @www.kathygurskidesign.com, assist to transcend you- to a better place.

We all have our own difficulties in life, gratefully we must know there are different ways and assistance to help, from the inside, out.

As I approached page 13 of my PhotoART GALLERY, I was inspired to make Page ’13’ be something more. It is intended to share images and thoughts to even more so, inspire those going through – difficult times, with emotional, other illnesses or simply looking to find a better way in life- take them to ‘The Better Side Of Thirteen.’

The number thirteen actually has much more notable significance than many may realize. Even as in a bakers dozen of 13 -you get more.

In Roman Catholicism, 13 is noted to be the day of each 6 consecutive months on which Our Lady of Fatima appeared.

With Jesus and the 12 apostles you have a very notable group of -13.

In Hindi, 13 is Terah, which means ‘yours’.

In Judaism, 13 yrs is a sign of significant maturity and
the Torah has 13 Attributes of Mercy.

For those that may consider 13 as somewhat evil- let this page be the total contrast of it.

In Chinese 13 means assured growth or definitely vibrant.

This side of 13 certainly sounds like Good Life to me, which has inspired the PhotoART of my Page 13.

My Art can be many things, also including- inspirational,spiritual to even whimsical. So, whether you are ‘Drawn By The Light’ (Pg1), realize ‘There Is Greatness In The Shadows’ (Pg2) or you wish to Bee-lieve (Pg4) and ‘Soar’ (Pg4), perhaps my Page 13 will help you or  others that you may wish to share it, ‘On Your Journey…’, -‘Reach Ever To The Light!’ to ‘Discover ‘JOY’ When Least Expected!’

The best to you, on your journey! -Aloha, Kathy

Even when NOT considering big changes in your living spaces, making the right smaller changes, can make a world of difference.

With my ‘property review’, which can be from a single room to an entire property, we can take a new look at the best and worse of what is already there. We can build upon existing, rework, remove, add or change where needed or where it can be more beneficial to you. By using the best of what you already have, but with fresh creative eyes,you go more green for the environment and get an enhanced results from what already is. You do not need to start all new to get professional design assistance, but even for changes to part or to create a plan.

Design means to plan with intent and that refers to all aspects in the plan for your spaces, from the planning and spacing for functions, to selections of materials, finishes, furniture, well chosen well-placed art and accessories.

To consider furnishings whether for residential or commercial as merely decorative is an unfortunate error of clouded thinking from the past where the interior design field has grown. Some may try to seperate, rather than understand the value of the design professional inclusion in all areas for a truly enhanced well executed design for many areas of your living. Better choices can save money whether now or over time.

For your Home, we may make better use of your space, that you pay well to have. We may create that place for your prized collection or a personal find that makes your space home. With a better place to relax and enjoy it all gives you greater value. Perhaps we rework one rooms’ no need to this rooms must be taking better advantage of what is.

For Hospitality, small changes for big results expected, make more revenues, by bringing back more business to your created brand. Whatever your brand may be it needs to set you apart from others. I enjoy creating and working
with many style translations, which is the Designer’s role, whether that be the very conservative or to out of the box. Consider all areas from lobby freshening, changes for upkeep, even venue reviews for return income .

For business consider changes for greater identification and increased income. While making a change of new flooring materials, also at that time, we can plan for ease of movement, seperation or storage can be achieved. Good use of time, efforts and materials makes good business sense- and savings.

Whether for HOME, HOSPITALITY, BUSINESS, EVENTS for Home or Other
Services are affordably available from this Designer For Your Living.

Design, Merchandise, PhotoART, Staging, Writing or Photography for Print or Web
-please consider and inquire.
