SUMMARY:Ribbon Cutting #43 - Open Gate Design and Decor
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we cut ribbon on Eric Scott's new business: Open Gate Design and Decor!\n\n\n\nWhat they do:\n\nGuided by your personal style and your lifestyle\, they provide the following services with impeccable attention to detail.\n\n\n	\n	Space Planning\n	\n	\n	Custom Upholstery and Furniture\n	\n	\n	Flooring and Paint Selections\n	\n	\n	Window Treatments\n	\n	\n	Lighting Solutions\n	\n	\n	Artwork Choices and Placement\n	\n	\n	Accessorizing\n	\n	\n	Interior Remodeling\n	\n	\n	Year-round seasonal Decorating\n	\n\nAbout the owner:\n\n\n\nGreat design inspirations can come from anywhere   family heirlooms\, personal history\, even moments we wish we could freeze and relive over and over again. That is exactly how I create beautiful\, comfortable spaces for my clients. Using your unique story\, your personal taste and your lifestyle I carve out an environment where lasting memories are made\, preserved and celebrated.\nI was just a young kid when my grandfather taught me woodworking.  I still hear his voice in my head\, reciting the motto all great craftsmen live by: "Measure twice. Cut once."  That motto saved me a lot of headaches.  Thanks to my grandfather\, a few basic skills and an eager imagination\, I soon started creating and selling my creations to friends and neighbors.\n\n \n\nAs I grew\, so did my curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit.  If I encountered anything I didn't know how to do\, I would figure it out.\n\n \n\nBy the age of 16\, I was already getting offers to design spaces for people.  I couldn't believe I was getting paid to do something I loved so much.  (I still can't believe it!)\n\nSince 2005\, I have served as the manager and designer for Gaither Family Resources\, a busy store and coffee shop in Alexandria\, Indiana. From inventory\, to ever-changing seasonal displays\, to huge special events\, as well as artist and author signings\, this experience has been transformational\, as I have learned the business and art of running a successful retail establishment.\n\n After studying art and business at Indiana University\, my hobby evolved into a full-fledged dream job.  I now own and operate EJS Designs\, where I have the privilege of being invited into homes\, businesses and special events that need a transformation.\n\n\n\nMore than a decade after I began designing and decorating\, I found myself participating in a design collaboration for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra fundraising event and serving as a showroom designer for the Chicago Merchandise Mart. And those opportunities were just the beginning!\n\n\n\nSo often clients tell me they know what kind of atmosphere they want\; they simply need help getting there.  I love hearing that\, because my goal is not only getting them there... but surpassing their wildest expectations. I hope you will give me the privilege of doing the same for you. \n\nMy personal mission is to design the ideal environment for the story you want to live.
