My philosophy & how I work:

First of all, we will have fun with the creative process. My enthusiasm is contagious. I approach each job with frankness, openness, flexibility and respect for your time and your pocketbook. As you are sharing what you have in mind, I am busy protecting you by listening for trouble spots. Be prepared to add your own energy and ideas to the project. The best results flow from our free exchange of ideas not by the imposition of mine. My artist's on-the-spot sketches serve to communicate my thoughts efficiently and allows for any modifications as a result of your feedback. Collaboration is the name of the game when working with me. That's why you will end up satisfied. I f you're not happy, we're not done!

Earth-friendly decorating: the best of both worlds:

I have always believed in starting with the furnishings that are on hand. It reduces both our costs and the Earth's resources, product manufacturing expenses and transportation costs. When we use these things that you have lovingly gathered over time, it ads a unique and charming warmth that reflects your personal taste, history and travels. As far as I'm concerned, that's what a home is. It naturally reflects who you are. Your home is not a show place for the decorator's personal taste-it's your home. You Live there! When we are finished, you will have an enhanced appreciation for what you have and a newfound respect for and understanding of your personal style. It's much like a flattering hair cut. It looks much better, but it's still you. How satisfying!
