Design Approach


A beautiful space begins first and foremost with the natural light it receives. No finish will be as beautiful as it is with the right lighting. So before thinking about finishing anything consider the light that the space will receive. Plus, who doesn't love getting ready in a bathroom with natural light?

Neutral doesn't have to be boring. In fact, it can be a sophisticated and warm feeling. If you're nervous about color, think about how textures in a neutral palette can speak volumes. The advantage is that neutrals never go out of style.
