Greetings!

Happy New Year! I hope your 2022 is off to a good start. This February marks the 30th anniversary of Metro Interiors! I started this business on February 2nd, 1992, and have stayed persistent through all of my life circumstances—this is what I love doing. Even before starting Metro Interiors, I worked as an interior designer for five years to gain experience and learn the craft. In 2002, I became incorporated and I received my Feng Shui certification in 2003; I was seeking to help myself but quickly realized that infusing this into my business made sense. Healthier homes make people feel supported and happy.

I am excited each and every year to take on new projects, and plan to continue doing what I love for many more years to come. My experience has made me into what I like to call a "concierge designer," someone who is there for my clients every step of the way. I offer hands-on help to just a few clients each year so that I can give each one my full attention. I have room for a couple more projects this year, so contact me if you are looking to remodel or spruce up your office space, your home, or the common areas of a multi-housing building you own.

I just wrapped up the latest art installation on the 3rd floor of the Nokomis Square Cooperative. The theme last year was "The World Through Art." Read all about the project and see many beautiful art pieces here. This month we will have our first meeting for the next installment on the 5th floor; the theme will be "Flora and Fauna."
Recently, I commissioned artist Bonnie Cutts to create a contemporary piece for my living room. I wanted the mood to be playful and free-flowing and she captured this perfectly with the textures and vibrant colors. Doesn't it remind you of a day at the beach?

Speaking of the beach, I vacationed in Puerto Vallarta with my boyfriend, Eliott, and some of his family. Check out the cool sights we took in below! The scenery was beautiful and rejuvenating; I always get new ideas when I travel. We loved riding on the boat taxi and the weather was perfect. There were interesting sculptures, like the dancers, and images of Frida Kahlo were everywhere. The beaded animals are a type of folk art made by the Huichol, an indigenous people of Mexico. The elaborate pieces are made with tiny brightly colored beads.

Here's to a wonderful new year full of new experiences. If you are looking for a new look for your space, contact me for a design consultation.

Warmest Regards,
Julie Ann

These days it may be a little challenging to travel the world, so these beautiful art pieces will help you see the globe from your computer. At the end of 2021, I finished helping with the latest art installation at the 3rd Floor Art Gallery at the Nokomis Square Cooperative senior living apartments in Minneapolis.
