Favorite combinations:

Mixing antique and vintage pieces with new modern elements.  I love to incorporate homeowners momentos and heirloom pieces in new ways that give a freshness to the space.

Style:

It is always evolving.  I love to change things up often.  I love the clean lines of modern and the rich character and patina of antique and vintage items.  The mix of the two is so rich.

Philosophy:

I meet with each client and carefully tune into their design needs and style. 

Each space should illustrate my clients personality,  be highly functional and, of course, beautiful.  I am an avid DIYer myself and love to give new life to old pieces by refinishing, reupholstering or flat out reinventing the function of an item.

 

I try to live each day and create environments where my clients feel they are truly able to enjoy their homes to their fullest potential.
