About Us

Two women smiling in a bright, modern kitchen with white cabinets, a marble island, and large windows, decorated with flowers and a basket on the counter.

From the moment we met, we knew we shared a love of timeless, authentic and beautiful spaces.  Together, our design experience includes renovations, antique home restorations and custom builds.  Whether we are restoring a home with century old charm, expanding a tiny cottage on a remote island or working with contractors creating homes from the ground up, we believe every home should tell a story and be unique to the client. 

Two women stand and sit at a dining table in a bright kitchen, smiling and looking at papers and a cell phone. The table has various items, including a laptop, and the room has modern decor with patterned wallpaper, a stylish chandelier, and natural light coming through the windows.

Your home or workplace is very personal, and so is the way we approach making it look and feel like it is your very own. We’re your partner, but we’re also your advocate, and go every step of the way in order to satisfy your vision. 

Looking forward to meeting you!
