Ever dream of building your dream house? Many people do, but the task is daunting for some.
Consulting with an interior designer is not about imposing ideas and personal taste onto a client. It is about client and designer coming together to create a unique space.
Its about helping the client develop their vision while analyzing their design requirements. In the end creating a fl exible, functional environment that optimizes your space and relates to your clientele, business, image and location.

Angela Rowlett is engaged to WKMS radio’s Chad Lampey. In October they will spend their hon-eymoon touring Ireland. She pointed to a poster of photos from her loft. “My fiancé made this poster by shooting photos of items here in my home. If you study the poster, it says ‘I love you.’ He gave me this when he proposed.”

ovetts’ oft: Nicky Lovett’s most recent project is the sunroom, almost finished. Note the live, visiting dove perched on the furniture.
The Lovetts purchased a step back and used it as a pattern for Nicky to reproduce the two in the kitchen; they sold the originally purchased one.
