In 1799, Paris was a chaotic maze of dingy streets. The famed Louvre was ghetto, not Gaugin. Immediately upon taking power, Napoleon proclaimed his ambition: "to turn Paris into the most beautiful capital in the universe". But he couldn’t do it alone. He commissioned the best and brightest to make his vision a reality that stands to this day. Sometimes, we all need assistance achieving our vision.
Our experience spans color and material choices for new home construction to last minute pre-event home makeovers. Collectively, we have successfully handled almost every “opportunity” that homeownership offers. Having traveled to and lived east coast, west coast, and abroad, our cultural and design influences are varied but Texas is always home. With a diversity of style, a therapeutic sense of humor and an outstanding network of service providers, we can make your vision a reality and hopefully provide some levity en route.
Services: Decorating. Staging, Remodeling, Holiday/Wedding/Event Styling, Mold/ Asbestos Remediation Recovery, Xeriscaping, Exterior Living Spaces, Gate Design. Commercial clients: day spas, restaurant, law firm, communications firm, investment bank, CPA, and tech company.
