Welcome to my first Lunaria blog post! This is the first of many which will document my experiences while working in this incredibly inspiring environment.

My name is Cecelia and I am a young, aspiring interior designer residing in the Napa Valley. After graduating from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco, I set out to begin a career in the field I feel so passionately about. After working for a few designers in the Bay Area and designing my family’s wine tasting room in Santa Rosa, I landed here at Lunaria in St. Helena and so far I’m loving it.

There is so much for me to learn about this business and so far Jessica and Alia have taught me that lighting is one of the most important elements in design - choosing the right fixture can really transform a space. I’ve also learned that placing a contemporary light in a traditional space creates “tension” (as Alia says) and the juxtaposition of the two styles will update the space and add intrigue.

The assignment I’ve been given is to select a new favorite lighting fixture each week from Lunaria’s offerings. I will be sharing that information here, so stay tuned for my future posts!

xoxo,

Cece
