Designing Safe and Nurturing Spaces for Over a Decade

During this unprecedented time, our first thought is for the safety of all of you and your families. We have known many of you for several decades and have gotten to know some of your family members as well. Our business is creating nurturing environments. Your wellbeing is at the heart of what we do! The past year has been our busiest, and there are multiple projects in the pipeline. Work in the active construction phase is now paused. In home consultations are also being rescheduled or handled remotely. We are doing our part to combat the spread of COVID-19 by limiting physical contact. We are continuing to work and are available to assist you. For current projects we will be completing design plans, product specifications, and budgets. Those projects will be in queue and ready to start once the “Stay at Home” mandate is lifted. If you are contemplating a Summer or Fall project, we can help you begin the planning process. Design consultations can be done via phone or online. Please contact us to schedule a virtual appointment, or ask a question.
