It all started in our home over 42 years ago. While in high school I worked for Klingman Furniture in Grand Rapids Mi. After graduating I moved on to the Furniture Market in High Point, NC. where I was born. My function was to create Showrooms for the market as well as catalog lay-outs. Traveling around the country was so inspiring, I wanted most of the accessories used in these lay-outs, but most were not available to the public. I started Catering, my deserts and tasty delights as well as my floral were featured in such publication as , Bride Elegant, Good House Keeping and Southern Living to mention a few. From that I grew to home accessories. The search was hard for the items that not everyone carried. My taste was so eclectic and varied from French Country, Contemporary, Country Rustic and Traditional. I opened our Design Shop in Asheville, NC in 1998. I decided to expand to items of personal care. I pride myself on attention to detail in every project I under take. My custom work can be found around the world. I have my personal murals and paintings, as well as custom floral and quilt's in some of the finest homes in the country. I have grown from one room in my home to a Retail Store and now the Internet.
