As you can see from a “before and after” pictures of this project’s, exposure to new technologies and innovative materials helped us create stunningly beautiful interior spaces.  In partnership with highly skilled and knowledgeable partners—Christine Coats of Golden State Flooring (for Borel Timber’s Australian Brush Box sustainably harvested hardwood flooring), Michaela Bernardino of Piatra Fina (for exquisite natural stone kitchen counters), Paul Zimmerman of Frontier Wood (for ceiling beams custom cut from reclaimed lumber), and Dave Gil of Roth Wood (for custom doors and cabinetry), we were able to realize the McCreary’s vision for their dream home. Together, we raised the bar once again and delivered truly beautiful and functional interior spaces.

For her, custom design is all about making your home fit your lifestyle and reflect your personality. And that’s something that can be quite affordable, especially when you approach it with curiosity, creativity, and 25 years worth of connections in every area of home decorating, finishing and furnishing.
