Home with passion....Things I Love

"Do it with passion or not at all".

I just love dramatic change in design.  I also love clients that are so easy to work with. I made my mind up a long time ago I wouldn't work for anyone I didn't feel we were a match.  I hit the jackpot with this client.  She started out an acquaintance and ended up a true friend.  Hope you enjoy a walk through the process of this home.

Before PICture of kitchen.

Everyone knows what they like and don't like it just takes the right designer to make it happen, and make it happen in the right way. At the end of the day its your home , but my name went on it so it was just as important to me as to you. This is one of the last houses I did before getting the Shit Ass Disease. None of my PICtures are professionally taken (obviously) because who had time for that?
