Alexa Wilchek

Design Philosophy

As a designer, I believe interior design is a collaborative process between client and designer.  Understanding my client’s unique needs, desires and opinions is the first and most important consideration.  By combining these elements with form, function, individual details and a sense of fun, the client is sure to have a successful interior design experience.

 I can help you to coordinate everything in your home or workplace for a dramatic and gorgeous livable environment.  Please contact me for a consultation.

Leah Spinney

Design Philosophy
 
Seven years ago I found my way to design.  The process of creating beautiful, functional rooms in a rich variety of styles is so enjoyable I haven't stopped yet.
 
To get started we'll create a unique color palette for your home.  Using my color expertise and your personal style we'll combine resources to create a design plan.  This allows each room to have its own personality while flowing effortlessly with the entire home.  We'll edit our choices using the best of what you already own with the most exciting furnishings, window treatments and home accents.  I want to give you both timeless design and up to the minute solutions for your lifestyle within the budget you determine.
 
I would be delighted to be invited to your home so we can get to work on transforming your space into the haven you've imagined.  Call now for immediate inspiration.

"Leah worked with me on several projects.  She suggested a color palette that worked perfectly with the treasures I already had as well as the new things I was purchasing.  The day the first window treatements went in is when it all came together.  From that day on, my husband and I were anxious to complete the rest of the house."  Nancy - Maryland

Stephanie Olesen-Bute, ASID

Design Philosophy
 
I want my clients to feel comfortable in their environment.  It's not about what style I like; it's about what style and feeling the client desires.  Whether you want to feel calm or energetic when you enter either your home or commercial space; I can achieve that feeling by guiding you through the design process and meet your goals within your budget.

Hilary Brenna, ASID

 Design Philosophy
 
My goal is to successfuully and creatively implement your wishes!  Listening to your needs and designing an interior that reflects your personality and lifestyle without compromising the design integrity.
 
The conception or "essence" of the design can begin with an ocean view or tree lined exterior, the physical architecture of the structure, an exquisite fabric or timeless work of art.  Together, we can create a residential or commercial interior, that is a perfect blend of color, lighting, furniture and accessories.
