Wall Art

 Hang a cluster of pieces making sure they are unifed
by at least one element.  In this bathroom the theme
 of nude compositions unifies the overall look.


Add interest and a cozy appeal to a room by adding three dimensional interest to your walls and displaying treasured items. Hang shelving and accessories making sure to balance the overall look using various heights of accessories and adding a splash of color.  On this wall I added color with a floral.  My client loved the opportunity to express her love for decorative clocks and family photos.  

 
San Diego, CA Residence

My Sketches


Sketching helps me excercise my creativity whether it is mentally envisioning an object such as a light fixture or piece of furniture or creating a room or a focal point in a room.  It also aids in creating a library of ideas for clients and future projects.




I love sketching fireplaces.  I love the ambiance it provides a room and the dramatic effect an over-sized fireplace can provide.















I love architectural details and the texture that finishes can provide to add interest to a clean-lined space.

Laminate Flooring vs. Wood Flooring

With the right lamitnate flooring choice one can literaly capture the elegant and rich look of hardwood floors and natural stone, affordably. In addition to the aesthetically improved choices on the market now, lamite is extremely durable, almost more so than some natural woods, and may be an excellent choice for active families and high traffic areas.  A good soundproofing remedy for laminate is a cork underlayment. 

Take a look at the following site for beautiful lamite surface choices.
