Once in a while I'll shoot a space and become so enamored of it that I want to just hang out. Like, forever. This happened when I recently shot Rosa Beltran's office. She's a super talented Interior Designer/Decorator so she's got a one up on most of us. Not only is she naturally skilled in piecing together a space to make it functional and savvy but she's pretty crafty and gives great DIY charm to any project she tackles.
