I truly value my time with my client

September 11, 2017

I just completed a client appointment in which we needed to select a slab to keep their remodel on track. I learned my client was REALLY into natural stone. So while walking the slab yard, we talked in depth about their love for natural stone and I entertained their enthusiasm for the material.  At the end of the brief conversation and short walk, I came upon a slab of a stone that we had never seen before. I asked the client what they thought of it and we both stepped back to marvel at the natural artistry of the piece.  I began to explain how this piece would capture all the inspiration of the project in one piece of stone and I began to get excited for them!  In the end, my client AND the staff commented on how unique this piece was and how this confirmed that they didn’t WANT to look like everyone else’s project out there…they really dislike all the grey and whites that are ubiquitous right now. That confirmed it!

With all the “similar” design looks out there, my design philosophy is that my client’s space should not only look amazing, but it should be a reflection of your personality and style, and it should function in a way that works with how you live your life.

I really enjoy getting to know their lifestyle needs and wants for their project.

Luxury Retreats

May 14, 2017

As seen on the recent episode of #KeepingUpWithTheKardasians, a luxury vacation rental, #VillaManzu was featured.  This is a prime example of a Luxury Retreat with all the lush amenities and attention to details that I, as a hospitality Interior Designer, put stock into on my projects, past and present.

When considering a vacaction home, remember the value an experienced interior designer and their team can add to your project with the unique attentional to the details – from lighting, landscaping, even the quality of the bed linens-that makes your project, not ordinary, but exceptional.
