Interior Design Resources

One of the best things about being in business is the relationships you forge and the people you meet! Here are some of my very favorite resources. All of the local business people and contractors I know personally and have seen their work. Many of them have worked in my own home! I recommend them for their quality craftsmanship, customer service, personal integrity, experience and trustworthiness.

I receive continuing education, support, and advice from an international community of highly talented, energetic, and experienced professionals.
