One question we hear quite often is about our own homes. Do we constantly change things in our own home ? The short answer… Definitely.   It is rare a designer can walk into a store and not find something that is perfect for a given space. Now, imagine that you look at some of […]

When we think,  “Christmas Design,” our thoughts frequently go to Tartan Plaid! You can find this pattern everywhere at this time of year. Pillows, stockings, scarves, dishes, you name it. While we love it, we wanted to know why it was so symbolic. We decided to do a little research and check out the origins […]

Earlier this year, we were given one of the highest compliments possible: an invitation back into a clients home.  This is not an uncommon request as we are often called to update a different room in a home with existing clients. It is always an honor to be asked to continue a design once a […]

As a long designing firm, we have seen trends come and go. The kitchen, as the heart of the home, is an area that is constantly focused on. Glossy black cabinets, red islands, brass, brushed nickel and copper. Everyone is battling to star in the show that is prime time in most of our homes. […]

When we decided we needed a fresh new look on our website, it seemed like such a simple idea. Update some pictures, rearrange how we said things and where we said them. Maybe change the coloror style of the words. After three decades of telling the story of home, you would think we would know […]

We always say we are telling the story of home. A home that reflects your day to day life, your style and taste and one that will stand whatever life can throw at you. Have we ever got a story for you. For all of us. Because, for most of us, March 2020 brought some […]
