Sara & Chevy

In the early 2000s a friendship emerged over many late night school projects. Fast forward, that bond became the foundation of a great partnership.

“Chevy has a great eye and the colors she helped us select for our home's walls brightened up the place. She also assisted with picking wallpaper and fixtures for our powder room - we love that space now!”

“We recently did a backyard and complete home renovation. From beginning to end, they offered their expertise and seamlessly merged the different styles we had. The final design feels personal and reflective of both us and I am impressed that they were able to complete it. They made suggestions on design that we never would've considered but made a big impact in our space and allowed us to go back to the drawing board for minor details that we wanted to reconsider. They are professional, responsive, and creative.”
