Our Concept
Successful Ingredients to a Designer/Client Partnership:


1.Designing should be an exciting, fun and enjoyable process from start to finish.


2.Establish a realistic budget for all components:  Construction – Furniture – Accessories – Art.


3.Be decisive in your selection decisions and trust your first judgment.


4.The entire team should always be open to change to ensure we make the best decision.


5.Never change the design in mid-stream unless you are willing to start over.


6.Do not let a new piece of furniture become an intrusion to the room.  Give it time and consideration.


7.We do not live in a perfect world – either do our manufacturers or the freight forwarders.  Furniture dings and blemishes can be repaired on site and become part of its character.
