To assist you in first defining, then creating and applying your own style.  This should be a process that evolves.  Initially, I will ask you to look at photos of my work and other inspirational images on this website that reflect my general style to see if you are drawn to a particular style or a combination of several - or all.  If so, and you want to commit to the process, we can begin.

Great style should be personal, collected over time, and memorable.  It should express your lifestyle, values, and a part of your history. I can help you with that.

At your pace & within your budget. Aside from one-of-a kind "great finds" & objet d' art, all recommendations will be from national retail sources & Etsy.com.  I encourage buying handmade and local first which will add elements of uniqueness to your design.  Additionally, if you are inclined to create on your own I can provide instruction and resources galore for doing just that.

The five vignettes above are from my homes. I share them to highlight how the right imagination and a few interesting and well-placed items can completely change a space.
