Designing Spaces

With over 20 years of experience as an interior designer, I create spaces that utilize optimal function with extraordinary aesthetic. In creating my designs, I relate to the architecgtural integrity and function of the space as well as the lifestyle, idiolsyncracies and preferences of my clients. For me design is an interplay of function, form and fun, and I enjoy interjecting the unexpected to create the element of surprise and interest. I believe style is a combinatioj of this interplay with a laying of color and texture, which give a space energy and life. I enjoy the challene of blending old and new to produce spaces with character and charm as if lived in and collected over time. My visionary charisma combined with talent and skill has allowed me to successfully design, stage and decorate fine homes throughout New England. I will listen to your individual needs and unique personal style to bring harmony and new life to your home.
