One of the difficult things to pay for is intangible, hard-to-understand, hidden-value advice. Why would you?

When you go and buy something, you have it in your hand. When you go and rent that holiday villa, you’re in it, living the life. When you have kidney stones, and the doctor tells you how to get rid of them, you can measure the value-add through instant comfort.

Things get fuzzier when what you buy is talking, testing, thinking and the agony of decision-making with thousands of options floating around.

Being your own boss has lifelong powers that go far beyond the carrier benefits. One learns to successfully cope with the vicissitudes of life. At some point, you will find yourself impervious to destructive pettiness and fearful incertitude that block so many minds from living free. It is not the freedom we require, it is the knowledge and energy to deal with the fact that we have it.

👢🥾 The secret to a presentable front foyer 🕵️‍♀️
SIMPLICITY IS OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD AS SPARENESS, BUT IN FRONT HALLS, SIMPLICITY MEANS CONVENIENCE. The boots in the middle of the floor, for instance, just waiting for you to slip them on your way out - how do you beat that convenience by hiding them in the closet? You better make sure that the door separating you from them opens ever so smoothly as if it's not there. And as soon as it's open, the boots need to be there, facing you, as ready to be slid on as if they were in the middle of the floor. That closet better is deep.

It is said that in moments of crisis some fold and some flourish. I would say that we at Dochia have definitely flourished!!

From international awards and recognition to a 300% increase in our followers across all social platforms, from accolade development projects to luxurious residences, we’ve had a prolific and accomplished design year!

Many thanks to my wonderful team that does not cease to amaze me with their dedication and impeccable performance and to Chris, Peter and Andrew for providing the wonderful project photography that you’ve been enjoying on our web site and social media.

Resolutions work for me! I suggest you try it out! In the first 49 years of my life, I kept none. As my 49th year started, I decided to make a few and guess what! it worked out.

Does that mean that I have not accomplished anything in the years past? Of course not. But out of the few reasonable and decent resolutions that I've proposed to myself last year, some have come to fruition in a nice and satisfying way. And that's enough.

It is unimaginable to think of luxury and third world poverty in the same brain space. Yet they have no problem coexisting together in the real world. Grouping things in certain buckets often tends to shed meaning otherwise invisible.

I once was asked if I do homes or luxury homes. What do you answer to that? To those that live in the homes lacking the prestigious social adjective, their homes never looked sub-par until the adjective came along. The presence of this 6-letter world in front of your home adds status and the lack of it, strips your home of seemingly substantial worthiness.

What is personal? What is not? This past year has been challenging at drawing the line between the two and, made everything, even the bites that were not, personal.

As the year ends, join me and let’s revisit some of the best, most read and most liked
✨My 2 cents on design blog posts of 2021! ✨

I have to say I’m very proud of myself. It is not an easy feat to keep a weekly blog. It is hard work and frankly, without a passion for writing you will not succeed. Many thanks to Jessica that has taken on the hard task of helping with the uploads and without which there would’ve been way less posts for you to read!

Most importantly, thank you: to all my diligent readers and to my fellow bloggers for listening to what I have to say, for increasing My 2 cents on design audience from few to over 150, for subscribing to the weekly posts and some of you, to the Dochia Trending newsletter. I write for you and hope you find the articles inspiring and useful in your daily life. Remember! You can design it however you want, it’s never too late!
