Do you work with small projects like single rooms?
Yes—we offer design refresh packages that scale to a room, a floor, or the whole house.
Can you help me choose paint colors?

I’m renovating an older home—will you preserve original trim & details?
We specialize in blending old and new; we’ll identify what can be restored and where modern updates make sense.
