What is important to you?

Everyone has items that they collect from vacations, things handmade for them by family members or things that are simply sentimental that they have collected through the years. We are always helping our clients arrange things that are important to them. It is always nice to see the things that you love displayed in your home. We have done arrangements in basements, family rooms, even powder rooms! Jackie did this wall in her own home. It includes a painting that her brother made for her when he was a child, a mask that her grandmother brought her from France, a painting she bought in the Dominican Republic and a photo that a friend gave her. Everything has a story and a memory attached so she loves seeing the arrangement each day.

A Work in Progress

AFTER
IN PROGRESS

BEFORE

We recently completed this fireplace design. Our client wanted to redesign their plain brick fireplace into something contemporary and warm. After researching many materials and techniques, we designed the fireplace using stacked stone tile, a granite hearth and a multi level mantel arrangement to add interest to the tall space.

Some of Our Favorite Artwork

Lindsay's Pick: "I love this painting because of the warm colors and subject matter. I love oil painting myself. It just gives me a good feeling every time I see it!"
Jackie's Pick: "I picked this out myself at the John Richard showroom in North Carolina. I am always looking for bold and different artwork. I would have bought it for my own home, but, we happily sold it to a client as soon as we put it in our showroom."
Diane's Pick: "Everyone knows I love the color red. Just visit my home! I think that is why I was drawn to this oil painting as soon as I saw it. It is absolutely huge and really makes a statement."




Wow!


Yes, this is the same room! Diane and Lindsay recently completed this project. We are pleased to say that our client is thrilled with the results. She finally has the bedroom she has always wanted.
