One morning this spring I got up and decided to take a walk. My first turn was around my property and a stop at the stream. Pow, I was blown away by the sight. Mock orange bushes were in full bloom up and down both sides for at least 2 city blocks! There was a wonderful amount of water in the stream so the reflection aspect was mind blowing.
A few dead branches and overgrown bushes were marring the sight, so I decided to garden at the stream! I ran for my boots, small saw clippers and gloves. The results were magnificent. Just a few snips, sawing down one small tree and cleaning dead leaves that had jammed in a past storm produced a picture perfect garden worthy of any tour. It looked gorgeous.
I was entertaining that night, so I quickly went to the phone and called my guests. Bring your boots, I said! Drinks in the stream. Well, they did and it was such a hoot, a tremendous success. I’d found a new room and decorated it in minutes. A miracle created by a much Greater Gardner than myself.
About Me
- Denny Daikeler
- My passion for integrating Interior Design, Spirituality, and Environmental Psychology began when I was 12. My best friend and I painted my bedroom closet green because my gut wanted it deep hunters green. I knew then there was more to life than beige, but little did I know that the powerful healing spirit of the home that comes from within would become the cornerstone of my life’s work. I received my degree in Interior Design from Drexel University and started designing filled with confidence. My perceptions changed as I worked with clients and taught classes. I discovered the huge gap between trends and what a person loves. My focus turned to exploring the Spirit of the home. I developed questionnaires and exercises to examine client's lives, preferences, and needs, and came up with the Inner Blueprint and Beloved Object. These methods brought so much transformation to people’s lives that I decided to share them in a book, "What Color is Your Slipcover?" published by Rodale. My life now is rich with all of this as I travel from place to place focusing on this process and experiencing the awareness, discovery and joy that comes with this new way of being with Home and Design.
