A beautiful memory. For those who asked, this is the original shot taken 20 years earlier at Mark’s birthday party in Palm Beach, with beautiful Maureen lounging across our laps. 4 of the original 5 of us in my previous post taken at his birthday celebration this year at َ…

Bedroom redux. An Uber colorful and multi patterned bedroom we designed for a little girl in the 90’s is undergoing a grownup metamorphosis as a reimagined suite for a now married mother of two and her husband when they bring the children to visit their grandparents. Calmer …

Back in this beautiful home today working with fun clients and their lovely family. Love this view of their dining room from the foyer. And lilacs are in bloom again here in our little corner of Virginia. Such a heavenly bouquet…a favorite scent! These came from the banks of…

Flashback Friday…to the single largest sofa we’ve ever installed in a project. This custom curved beauty was 17 feet long and took 6 strong men to carry through the double doored entrance of this mountaintop manse out west. Handcrafted from a template we made for the living …
