Keeping to a Budget
In December we put the finishing touches on a second home for our new clients. From concept we were given a budget, wish list and date they needed our work to be complete. Then these clients let us work our magic. Everything was approved long distance. We used color boards, samples, FedEx and phone […]
Custom Light Fixtures
Our obsession with lighting continues. While we can usually fill lighting needs with beautiful fixtures from our vast assortment of lighting vendors, some homes just scream for something custom. Our Altura Project was just that type of home. By choosing custom lighting we were able to give our clients the perfect scale of chandelier for […]
My experience at The Consumer Electronic Show
Attending CES changed my life. I was offered passes from a client. One of the many perks of my job. I was super excited to see the robots, fancy cars and drones that receive all the media coverage. There were plenty of all of those things. My favorite was the Star Wars Drones which drew […]

The Airstream
I’m not sure where my obsession with Airstream trailers started. As a child my grandma would make tents using blankets and furniture.

We love apples around here and Fall is the perfect time to make up a batch of caramel apple punch that can be served both cold and warm and with or without alcohol. I think this might be the perfect fall drink. It’s easy and smells amazing. I like to pair it with a fruit […]
The Perfect Reading Corner
In almost every home there is an opportunity to create a perfect reading corner. I like to start with an oversize comfortable chair. The chair needs to be large enough to curl up in. Adding smaller down filled pillows that can be adjusted helps for the long stretches of a book you just can’t put […]
Wallcoverings I love
I admit I grew up in a house with wallcovering and that fuels my obsession. I loved it and then I tired of it and then I loved it again. Today when I say wallcovering I am surprised at the resistance I get. Wallcovering is fabulous and there are no rules anymore. I love using […]
It’s the little things….
If you wander around my house you will see little things on display. To anyone else it’s just stuff but to me each collectable represents a memory. I collect lots of different things but you can always catch my eye with something with the number three. I like 3’s so much they are embroidered on […]
Giving into Temptation
Every day I shop for clients, it’s like taking someone on a diet to a gourmet bakery. There is temptation everywhere. Over the years I have seen the most beautiful things for homes. Some things I secretly covet for myself and lay in bed dreaming about and other things while perfect for my client don’t […]
