Rose Garden Retreat

It was a pleasure working with my clients on this house for over a decade. The vintage home was updated to reflect their lifestyle and sensibilities, including a complete remodel of the kitchen. A lot of the furnishings were custom designed. They range from furniture and window coverings to fireplace surrounds and mirrors. Lighting was an important element in the design and enabled my clients to maintain optimal control over the quality as well as quantity of light throughout the house.
