After 15 years or so, my clients called to say they were ready for a fresh new look. Out went the original oriental rugs and in came off white walls and a jute rug. Some of the chairs were painted and all were recovered. New lamps, artwork, tables and accessories combined for a much lighter, […]

“At Home” With A Kitchen Refresh

Linda Perrow — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 08:00:35 +0000

This kitchen needed to be refreshed. After consultations with the client, a design plan was made. Retaining some of the clients favorite design elements (tile floor, wallpaper, and fabric on windows) was part of the plan. Deciding to paint the existing stained wood cabinets was a key element. Eliminating the existing fluorescent light above the island […]

In our world today we want everything in an instant. But for one client, it was worth the wait. After moving into a new home two years ago, our client was ready to furnish her living room. Up until now, their three young girls used the living room as a dance hall. But now with a […]

Practicing Patience

We’ve all been waiting for years to see the completion of this unique dining room-designer, architect, builder-and especially our client! The custom beams, venetian plaster walls, gray limestone floors, and an open wine alcove all lend the feel of a Tuscan villa.

I will really miss this house!

Karen Menge, ASID — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 05:00:13 +0000

As professional designers, we often work very closely with our clients in building or renovating their homes. We agonize over every decision for wiring, plumbing, wood trim, flooring, and tile as well as the “pretty” ones with fabric, wallpaper, furniture, and paint, as if they were our own. These houses become a part of us, […]

Something Old, Something New

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Thu, 10 Mar 2016 17:14:16 +0000

It’s not often something new comes along that solves a problem that’s a recurring issue with many clients. But like most “new” ideas, it’s really just a twist on something that’s been around a long time. The problem? What should I put at my kitchen sink to save my floors and my back? Whatever you […]
