Shawn is a successful restaurateur in the Triangle area whose iconic MCM home is the perfect backdrop for entertaining. His property boasts an infinity pool overlooking the golf course, a built-in fire pit seating area, and multiple terraces perfect for outdoor living and alfresco dining.  
He was in need of a designer to pull together the finishing touches for his space. The homeowner wanted to highlight the home’s many design features with lush container gardens and bring year-round color to his poolside and patios. 
He has a discerning eye, and only wants the best. He continues to be a return client because we can offer him both impeccable execution and expert advice. 
Now his home has beautifully manicured planters throughout his back yard, around the pool, and front entryway that remain true to the home’s Mid-century modern roots. Furnishings have been accented with colorful and unique pillows, and his front entry welcomes guests with a custom fountain that creates a zen-like feel.


Poolside Pleasures

Jill is a busy executive whose home exterior was in need of a major update after several years of living abroad. When we began, the home already had a well appointed foundation featuring an outdoor fireplace and millstone fountain. She still travels frequently and was in need of a trusted liaison to fully execute her vision. She also required continuing care for all of her planters to keep them looking beautiful, even in her absence.
She has a love of antiques, and wanted her exteriors to reflect a timeless style and to evoke feelings of warmth and relaxation. Her interiors are incredibly intentional with meticulous attention to detail, and she wanted the gardens and patios surrounding her home to have those same qualities.  
Her final product is an exceptional outdoor space which will stand the test of time. A bespoke antique iron garden screen created from architectural salvage provided the perfect backdrop for a newly installed parterre garden surrounding the millstone fountain.  
From a quiet breakfast on the porch to a Christmas Eve gathering by the fireplace, she now has a finished space she wants to share with friends and family.
