"Nothing personal...."


If you shop for home decor at everything from Home Goods to high-end New York furniture showrooms...you're bound to find perfect items for your room. But the whole essence of "home" is showcasing your own items of interest and meaningful collectibles or heirlooms...and not doing is so "not personal."

A simple thing...something that could be easily stashed away or given away, may be sitting idle in a storage box, that could become something noteworthy in the array of beautiful decor in your home.
For instance, in cleaning out the estate of a family member, I came across a canvas bag that had belonged to my fiancee's grandfather, stamped, "U.S Mint $.50" which was actually used by him, and could probably tell a story if it could talk. I decided to stuff it and make it a decorative throw pillow for the family room. What a tribute to a legacy...and it is not something I could have bought at Crate & Barrel or Ann Sacks, for crying out loud.

Homes can have style & sophistication, casual or formal; but each one needs a very PERSONAL touch...to contain something meaningful to the person or family who lives there. 



So we challenge you.

Don't just sit in a well-appointed room of perfect furniture from R.C Willey. Don't make your family room feel like a vignette in a showroom. Seek out something that no other could purchase in a mall and display in their home...because it only exists in your possession.

We strive to give this personal touch to our clients. We take inventory of your exclusive essence, and weave it into a perfectly designed atmosphere that is YOU.

Off to make some pretty....
