As non-profit entities, it is crucial to design facilities that optimize longevity while being fiscally responsible.

Doesn't happen very often, but when it does, we love it--PINK! This bridal suite sells itself when future brides are looking for their dream venue. Sure beats a church basement Sunday School room!

We are absolutely thrilled that encouraged us to purchase local fine art when we staged a few apartments for them. Not only did it add a touch of personality to the space, but it also supported the talented artists in our community. Here we feature a stunning abstract piece by purchased at , which truly brings the room to life with its vibrant colors and unique texture. We love how it adds a sense of sophistication and elegance to the overall design. By incorporating local art into our staging, we're not only creating a beautiful space, but also telling a story about the community and its creative spirit.

We love this quote by Maya Angelou. I am sure she intended it to refer to interpersonal relationships but we like to think it applies to interior design also. What we do is not just produce a collection of our clients' favorite colors and materials--it's so much more. We consider everything...function, practicality, cost, maintenance, aesthetics, the dirty little details to make things buildable, affordable, and stand the test of time... and all of it, together, impacts how all who experience the spaces we design feel. From those our clients serve to those who care for the building itself for many years to come.
