Traditionally contemporary

A new challenge is music to a designer’s soul…when that challenge comes mid-project the music is taken to a whole new volume. 

Working on a lovely French country home…redoing floors, choosing light fixtures and furnishings, aging ironwork…all in a slightly subdued traditional palette, the client adds a striking abstract painting to the score!

Integrating this piece into the evolving melody, we decided to play to its strengths: 

color and more color!

Baby Boomer Contemporary

Another contemporary home remodel – all about capturing the light!!!

In this case home is a sanctuary away from the busy-ness of life….a place to re-charge, to find calm and inspiration, and to share that inspiration with others.  Again, flawlessly executed by the contractor, designed and furnished as a collaboration.

Generation X Contemporary

A Baby Boomer helping to design a family home for a Gen X couple and their three – now four – sons!  I learned, I grew, I stepped out of my comfort zone.  The result….an amazing remodel thanks in large part to the vision of the wife/mother and flawless execution by the general contractor.
