Welcome

Since 1993, we've been chatting about your favorite place - your home! Building YOUR perfect nest is something we take very seriously, so pull up a (stylish) seat and let's talk........

Designing the Most Popular Room in the House

Designing the Most Popular Room in the House

This is what happens when you give a space the attention it deserves. The show-stopping landscape mural creates instant drama and transforms the room into something truly special. Multiple seating zones - from the oversized sectional perfect for movie nights to intimate conversation areas - make this space as functional as it is beautiful. We love the mix of modern elements: the sleek bar with glass-front cabinets, contemporary artwork, and that stunning stone fireplace that anchors it all. Herringbone floors and thoughtful lighting elevate every detail. This is the kind of room that becomes the most popular in the house - where teenagers claim territory, adults host game nights, and everyone wants to hang out.

A Kitchen That Beats with Style and Sophistication

A Kitchen That Beats with Style and Sophistication

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and this one beats with style and sophistication. See how we balanced rich walnut cabinetry with crisp white elements and brass accents for warmth. We share our secrets for adding visual interest with textured wallpaper, marble-look quartz, and a pop of deep green—designing a kitchen that works just as hard for weeknight dinners as it does for seamless entertaining.

Designing a Screened Porch That’s a Year-Round Sanctuary

Designing a Screened Porch That’s a Year-Round Sanctuary

Some spaces just make you want to stay awhile, and this screened porch is exactly that kind of place. The warm shiplap walls and rich wood ceiling create an envelope of coziness, while the stone fireplace and custom bar make it functional year-round. We love how the rattan seating and botanical prints feel fresh and casual, perfectly suited to lazy Sunday mornings with coffee or evening cocktails with friends. Those views don't hurt either! This is outdoor living at its finest - a room that blurs the line between inside and out and makes you grateful for every season.

 

Taking Risks That Transform a Room

Taking Risks That Transform a Room

We love a client who's ready to embrace a bold design moment! This dining room is proof that taking risks pays off. The custom wood wall treatment transforms the entire space into a work of art. The organic, flowing pattern creates drama and movement while the shiplap ceiling, upholstered chairs in a sophisticated leaf motif, and rich navy drapes ground the room in elegance. This is dining with personality, a space where every meal feels like a special occasion and every gathering becomes a celebration of both great taste and fearless design.

A Calm & Nature-Inspired Transformation

A Calm & Nature-Inspired Transformation

A primary bedroom should be a true escape, and this space delivers serenity in spades. The botanical wallpaper sets a tranquil, garden-inspired tone while the natural cork headboard and layered neutral linens create a cocoon of comfort. We love how the geometric rug in sunny gold and charcoal adds just the right amount of visual interest without overwhelming the peaceful palette. A bubble chandelier, cozy window seat, and perfectly placed reading chair complete this restful retreat. This is a room that invites you to slow down, take a deep breath, and truly unwind.

A Porch Reimagined: From Underused to the Heart of the Home

A Porch Reimagined: From Underused to the Heart of the Home

Every home has that one space with untapped potential — and for this long-time client, it was the porch. It had great bones and beautiful views, but it just wasn’t functional for how their family lived. Too small for gatherings and too exposed for comfort, it often sat empty — except for the occasional summer dinner when the weather was perfect.

We knew this space could be so much more.

A Jewel Box Moment—Historic Powder Room, Reimagined

Tucked inside a gracious 1860s home, this petite powder room needed more than an update—it deserved a moment. The space may be small, but the opportunity to infuse character and charm was huge.
