I simply adore getting dressed up for a special occasion. I feel incredible stepping out in luxurious fabrics and a bit of bling. That’s also how I feel about special-occasion dining rooms. Because these aren’t everyday spaces, they contain all sorts of drama for that once-in-a-while ‘wow’ event Picture Quote #1

The type of renovation I do most often is opening a kitchen to the family room Picture Quote #1

Bathrooms are, on a square foot basis, the most expensive room in the house to renovate. If you want to test your heart’s fitness, try shopping for simple bathroom faucets. Add in the cost of the required valves, mixers and trims, and you may need reviving when you see the tally! Picture Quote #1

I credit my mom with inspiring in me a love of design, matched by her creative problem-solving abilities. This is a woman who could find an old, discarded piece of furniture, bring it home and turn it into something fabulous Picture Quote #1

Today’s kitchen is all about a well-planned space that makes cooking a completely interactive experience among family and friends Picture Quote #1

This contemporary take on tradition creates a look that’s at once current yet timeless, fresh yet familiar…the essence of both beautiful design and a beautifully designed home Picture Quote #1

I firmly believe that if your environment works for you and your family, it translates into a better life Picture Quote #1
