From humble beginnings, the bathroom has evolved to be the place where we pamper ourselves and the luxurious bath is definitely here to stay. While it may be the home's most private space, imagine it filled with custom mosaics, hand painted ceramics or a stunning glass sink which can all withstand the dampness. Large enough to fit a double shower and soaking tub, or just clean and utilitarian, any bathroom will be special when graced by the creative mark of an artist. Our bathroom interior design portfolio shows our versatility through the variety of bathroom styles.

The living room, where you gather with family and friends to relax and have a conversation, is the most public space in the home. In many homes the living room is the hub of family activity. Day to day it is the family's gathering place and on special occasions it's the setting for entertaining guests. Almost always the largest room in the home, the living room is often positioned near the entryway. The the living room design challenge is to balance the functional needs of the room with a story that expresses something about you-your tastes, your values and your interests.

The bedroom is a sanctuary, a private space that invites reflection and intimacy. We don't strive for perfection in the bedroom - just simplicity, ease and relaxation in a refuge from the day's demands. The bedroom is a place for dreams - original artwork, quirky lamps, a pile of books and your favorite photos. To create that sense of peace, the clutter must go, but ample storage and closet space is always a design challenge. Our bedroom interior design portfolio highlights some of our favorite spaces.

It's a fact! Staged homes sell faster and for more money than those that aren't staged, and 85% of Realtors recommend home staging to their clients. Staging helps buyers better visualize the potential in the house and imagine it as their own. And you never get a second chance to make that first impression! The process of getting a house resale ready includes de-cluttering, donating and depersonalizing, updating and attending to neglected projects. Maximizing and highlighting the most important and unique features of the house can move your house to "Best in Class" and Realtors will be excited to show it.
