OUR CLIENTS:

  • Value the experience and unique skills a designer brings to the table: the ability to create a beautiful and interesting home, but also to save time and money on the project.

  • Value natural materials and the depth of character and luxuriousness that they bring to a space.

  • Believe that home is art.  It is a personal expression of who they are, and a unique expression of their family life.

  • Get excited by trying new things, getting outside of their comfort zone, and are open to new ideas for their home.

  • Go with the fun sofa, because you only live once.

Exploring the line between classic and innovative. 

Full service New Construction and Renovation Projects

We are intimately involved with your projects from the inception of the plans to the last accessory being placed on the coffee table. 

This is a high level of involvement in your project as we work through the drawings of your new build or renovation, create elevations and renderings of your spaces, provide detailed plumbing, electrical, tile and other finish schedules, manage the ordering of materials and delivery to the job site, communicate with your build team to ensure the design intent is understood and being implemented, and proactively problem solve on the job site. 

Selections Only Design

We design your space and provide a list of materials and mood boards to illustrate the design concepts and you take it from there. 

This service is best for clients building a semi custom home, or a renovation or refresh project that does not involve moving any walls. 

Furnishings design

We take a blank slate and create a space you really want to be in.  Our furnishings projects include quality upholstery from reliable vendors, and we work to source interesting pieces that will stand the test of time.

Virtual and Long Distance Design options are available for clients located outside of Kansas City.

Really love the journey.

We shared our goals with her and she made them a reality.  Not only did she help with all of the build design decisions and selections, she furnished our entire home.
