| | With our kids grown and out of school we felt it was time to move on to an improved lifestyle and away from the burdens of a home that had become oversized for our needs and quite frankly our wants. Natalie and her team were amazing. Her vision created more functionality with less square footage and turned a basic house into a stunning and beautiful home. Her overall design and creativity are unparalleled and her support team, network of service and product providers are the best in the game. Literally, Natalie rebuilt the house like a conductor of perfectly orchestrated trades. She told us what to expect and then she went and delivered so much more. We love her! ~ Michael & Mindy A. |

An adorable couple came to our design firm early this past summer. They had found us while they were renting a home we had designed after their large home was sold. Downsizing into a gated community, they wanted us to create a “one of a kind” residence that reflected their personality and taste.
Happily, the owners’ family was the contracting team and so easy to work with – and to complete a designer’s dream, the homeowners were not only warm, kind and funny but, most appreciative of our efforts. That type of encouragement always makes any design team want to work harder to make everything perfect for such deserving clients.
A single and separate home, the floor plan was open and the first floor ceilings, high. Another plus was the first floor master bedroom suite. It became even larger when we removed the walk-in closet and replaced it with a staircase going down to the lower level for a “whopper of a walk-in”, the size of the entire master bedroom above, with an attached second master bath!
The lower level also provided space for our team to create a visiting parents’ suite, a scrapbooking room and office, and a paneled TV viewing room complete with a bar and candy counter. Thanks to Dave Goldstein and the talented team at Ultimate Styles of America, the main floor built-ins in the kitchen, family room and master bath suite were the beautiful cornerstones to fulfilling the clients’ needs for maximum storage and individuality. Peykar, the rug people like no other, provided beautiful area rugs as well as exceptional broadloom. Custom furniture from Classic Galleries and furniture, fixtures and accessories from Uniquely Natalie, our consignment store, seamlessly cohabit, proving once again, that quality furnishings are truly timeless. Each part of this warm and special home reflects the clients taste and needs.
