WE’RE HERE FOR YOU

We give you the full benefit of our creative solution-finding expertise.  We guide you toward the best decisions for layouts, moods, finishes, fittings, fixtures, and furnishings for you and your home.  From a single room to a whole home re-fresh, kitchen or bathroom renovation, a new home, or a new-to-you home design; we‘re your creative, your innovator, your advisor, and cheerleader from start to finish.

 

WE WANT YOU TO FEEL COMFORTABLE, INSPIRED, AND NURTURED

We shape your home for Living In Place.  It’s a complete approach to making your home accessible, comfortable, and safe for you and loved ones of all abilities and ages.  So, no matter what life tosses your way, your home always remains home.

We ensure your home is well connected with nature through organic shapes, natural elements, daylighting, and authentic materials.  All people have a strong positive response to natural environments. Our heart rate slows. Anxiety levels drop. We become more creative, calmer, and happier.

We focus on the responsible use of materials. We’re concerned about chemicals that pose harm to human health and our planet, so we do our best to keep antimicrobials, PVCs, flame retardants, repellents, and VOCs including formaldehyde out of your home design. Watch the Six Classes Approach to Reducing Chemical Harm videos to learn more.  Instead of needlessly throwing away and contributing to landfill, we look for opportunities to repurpose. We go the extra distance to furnish and finish with natural, local, handcrafted, vintage, and long-lasting goods.

HOW THIS WORKS

Think of your design project like a road trip…

 

You may want to enjoy the scenery and leave the driving to us.  In which case, you’ll be most comfortable with our Concept to Completion Service.  If you see the value in investing in a home that stands above the ordinary with our most creative design work and attentive guidance this is how we’ll roll.

 

Perhaps you’re a Do-It-Yourself-er.  Then you’ll likely want to do the driving and have us pull out the map once in a while. Our Self Directed Service is the path for you.

 

Either way, we’re here to make your home design journey a successful and happy one.

 

Read through our plans below to select the road that’s best for you. If you’re not sure, we can help you choose. Perhaps a hybrid approach is best for you.  That’s easy to arrange!   Click here to schedule your complimentary Discovery Video Call. We’ll be in touch within one business day to greet you and get you underway.
