We have recently begun working on the renovation of a client’s childhood home.
The wife and I met through one of my 3.5 hour consults as she was looking for direction for her family’s newly purchased childhood home. During our conversation, I gave a few reasons as to why they should renovate to really make it work for their young, pet-friendly family.
As a result, they hired us to select the interior finishes and lighting throughout.

Though the bones of the house are good- and the memories even better- we are updating the house with classic, timeless materials and details. A
Our goal is a beautiful home with a casual, comfortable feel that only looks better with time.

The kitchen is completely gutted and is getting the biggest makeover. A large window is being added because bringing in light was a priority throughout the house.
We are also updating the home with hidden storage (can you ever have enough?) and finding ways to make this new home work and function for them for years to come.

Stay tuned as we share our progress over the next few months. I can’t wait to make this childhood home into a space where this family can play, relax and enjoy each other.
Have a great day,

Are there other ladies out there who despise bathing suit shopping as much as me?
I was in St. Thomas last week, and as I wore my old bathing suits, I decided to make it a priority to find a few I felt comfortable in for the next beach trip.
I thought I would share a few that stood out to me. Hopefully, you too will see something that you like and makes you feel good. Prices range from $39 to $225.
