It isn’t about the price tag; it’s about the impact.
When we help homeowners curate custom furniture and decor for installation in the final phases of their project, we are often asked why we use a select list of trade-only vendors versus retail (big box store) options.

As warm weather creeps across the continent, and especially into Texas, many of us are thinking about barbecues on the deck, glasses of wine on the back patio with friends and family, and lounging around on the front porch. In essence, many of us gain a second living room (and perhaps a ..read more
