Debbie's favorite type of project… Architectural challenges! Together we diagnose the challenges of your space and enhance or subdue the architecture as needed to best suit your room. My favorite experiences have been taking a room that starts out “All Fireplace” (usually a stone or brick) and transforming the surrounding furnishings so the fireplace appears fresh and new; as if it was recently added! Debbie can’t design without… Classic modern elements! You can’t beat a well styled and well made suit or car. The same goes for furnishings. I love timeless, long-term designs that reflect current elements yet evolve with our lifestyle, becoming more seasoned over time. Debbie believes every room needs… Texture! Like my clients’ personalities, a stunning room has contrasts to appreciate unique components; enhancing prominent areas of character while allowing other aspects to gracefully soften and fall back. I’ll diagnose the unique textures present in your space as well as what is needed. Where do we start… Style and Functional Goals! What has caught your eye lately? What do you like and not like about your space? Who and how will we use the room? Have you started a #Hashtag? Ideabook? Manila folder? Bar napkin? Let me know your thoughts about the space so far. Whether you have one or all of these, let’s work together to build the room or your dreams!
