Create Your Story
Every space tells a story. Thoughtfully designed interiors embody the lifestyle, personality and values of those who call it home.
What I Do
-
I design kitchens and bathrooms for new builds and remodels. I can assist with the entire construction project or for only specific parts of the project as follows:
Space Planning: Measure existing space. Create plans, elevations, lighting and electrical layouts for the new space
Product Selection: Select cabinetry, lighting, plumbing, tile, countertop, flooring, paint, and accessories
Project Management: Assist during construction to ensure project is built as designed and to address issues
-
Cabinetry can transform an existing space into the multi-purpose activity area and requisite storage that today's homes need.
Custom Cabinetry: I design cabinetry for mudrooms, home offices, craft rooms, playrooms, entertainment units, and any custom storage for your home.
Construction: If construction is involved, I incorporate construction design services to my offering.
-
Color is a powerful design tool and is one of the quickest ways to update the look of a room. However, choosing the right paint color is also the trickiest. Color changes with light exposure, the orientation of the painted surface and the color of the pieces around it. Greys and whites are particularly challenging with new color trends further complicating the process.
Paint Selection: I can help you select paint colors for interior walls, for exterior house colors and for cabinetry
Selection Process: I select a color palette to identify potential colors for you to try out and schedule a follow up meeting and make adjustments as needed.
my philosophy
I focus on functionality. I believe that a pretty space that is not functional, is not a home; it is a museum.
I transform the non-functional, the outdated, the cookie cutter into your unique, intuitive space designed around your lifestyle and your design aesthetics. I anticipate future needs and incorporate design ideas that ensure you can enjoy your home for the foreseeable future and beyond.
