Starting Fresh
“A clean minimalistic feel can be achieved while embracing bold, vibrant colors. My mission was to create a happy, luxurious respite for clients who were forced to start over when their home burned.”

From the day we met, my goal and the goal of my team was to make our clients’ lives as easy as possible, and create a new home they would love living in, after their traumatic displacement. Her favorite color is lavender, and we were fearless in designing with tones of lavender, lilac and plum, creating her dreams.
I often spend a great deal of time getting to know my clients’ needs and tastes. The best projects come to life when my clients then let me run unrestrained. The possibilities become limitless.
A very special finale for these clients; I know someone was watching over us. At the inception I chose the heart shaped ottomans in a rich violet. I designed the hand-carved fireplace surround half a year later, and found a fateful marble in lilac tones. Look closely and tell me if you see the heart — something I’ve never seen in a marble piece before. A meaningful symbol of a fresh and loving start.
