NOT JUST DECOR
Lisa believes that interiors should be appropriate to the architecture and setting of a home. She believes that your environment should reflect your personality, lifestyle and dreams.

LISA'S PHILOSOPHY
“Each project is as individual as the client. I get to know my clients and listen carefully to create an environment that is custom tailored to reflect that client’s lifestyle, taste and needs.”
“I love the design process: the attention to detail, the partnership with my clients and the collaboration with architects, contractors and artisans. Most of all, I love turning ordinary spaces into beautiful places that you want to return home to again and again.”
A HOME SHOULD BE A PERSONAL SANCTUARY.
"We sat and simply took the room in and basked in the warmth of the colors of the beautiful furniture and how they flowed and blended with the outside environment, with our surroundings. and with the various inside elements, the flooring, the colors of the walls etc. When we finally spoke, we both uttered the same word, WOW!."
