Be sure to consider "green design," including energy-efficient products, and items manufactured from recycled or sustainable materials.

“I want to tell you how much I appreciated working with you on the remodel of my home. You are not only an experienced interior designer, but also a wonderful lady. I felt like I was working along side a very good friend and had a lot of fun during this project.

“You took the time to learn my likes and dislikes, and were very creative in giving me many options from which to choose while at the same time keeping my budget in mind. And when I had my own ideas about certain things, you gave me the space to make my own decisions while guiding me in the right direction, without making me feel uncomfortable. Your sense of color, size, design, etc., is fantastic.

“I am so very happy with the results, Chris, and this is due largely to your expertise in interior design. I will be glad to recommend you to any prospective client.”

Clients hire us for our award-winning Kitchen or Bath renovations and receive layouts, elevations and specifications.

People who are remodeling or tearing down and rebuilding come to us for consulting in the blue print stages and continuing until we fully furnish their homes.

Young and growing families who hire for help on their first home, then hire us again when they move to the next, larger home.

We stage homes that are going on the market for greater overall appeal to prospective buyers.

We work with experienced, licensed and insured general contractors who help keep our Clients satisfied.

Much of our work is repeat business from existing Clients and the rest is primarily by referral.
