13/13: Before and After

It's hard to believe that this...

Looked like this...

Only hours before the birthday boy, AK and his "posse" arrived to celebrate his bar mitzvah!

Or that this ...

Became this in hours...

When people ask me how I stay passionate about what I do, I sort of fumble around for the right words... always new challenges, I love design or I love pushing myself to try new things. But these photos tell the story I'd really like to say -- that it's so amazing to physically transform a space; to see months and months (years if we add in all the experience it really takes to do this) of planning all come down to one day. The rush is like nothing else!
