Begin Again
There are so many turning points in life when we must “Begin Again” – an act that takes much courage.
A recent turn of events in my life led to just that: beginning again. After spending eighteen months creating a dream home that was published in Architectural Digest’s September 2010 edition, the home was sold lock, stock, and barrel. As I sold my home furnished, I had a short time frame of only three months to create my next nest.
For me, it’s always fun piecing the puzzle together, mixing styles, collections, and bargains. You start out with a blank canvas, get the ball rolling, and suddenly magic happens. Here is a sneak peek into how my team and I worked so hard to “Begin Again.”
Do any of you have a journey that you’d like to share about a time when you had to “Begin Again?” As always, I’d love to hear your stories and inspiration—and this time around, the winner of the best story about starting over will win two of my custom designed crystal glasses so you can raise a toast to your new beginning! Please post a comment on our blog by December 15th for your chance to win!
I find that in life there is so much we want to do, so many things we want to be, so many things we want to cultivate.
Donna,
Your Carlyle residence looks fantastic! Jane and I have recently embarked on a “New Beginning” as well! After viewing the video, you’re off to a great start on yours!
Joy, Tim
Donna, you are amazing! Love your new place, can’t wait for you to come visit me.

my life has been many new beginnings and the changes are always worth the experience- my guess is that all of your talents will be like candle light on the faces of those you love-and that love you- since you have been very inspirational to me personally- i am sure that the re-arranging of our insides-makes us more creative and filled with love and life–on the outside- that flame burns with mystery and lights our path–
Donna -
Beautiful piece. I am so thrilled for you. You are and have always been a bright light.
All the best,
Stacey
…Donna, you are inspirational.
Awesome work Donna…you also look amazing! I often think about our brief encounter as you shared some very personal things with me, as you called me “your gaurdian Angel”.
Love to you~

Thanks Donna for sharing the experience … Yes, you’re dead on – It takes hard work and keeping on keeping on the crew to get it done right. Best of luck in your new home.
You and your team are so lovely and so very, very talented Ms. Livingston!
