having the right tool for the job is the most important thing when you want to be successful. here are a few tools of the trade I enjoy using.

Customized Furniture in Contemporary style changes with time. It incorporates aspects of clean lines and simplicity as in modern furniture. It also can include flair and boldness to a minimalist design. The richness of bold interesting furniture will always be in my collection.

Make it stand out.

It all begins with an idea. I feel there is beauty in everything if you're looking for it. Some people only see what they don’t have. I take another approach I see what I have, what’s working and how can I take what’s working and make it better. Make it beautiful and create an environment that I love and want to be in.

Creating Custom Furniture pieces is one of my favorite things to do. These are a few examples of Old world finishes done with Venetian Plaster on the tops. The shine Venetian plaster creates can be like a mirror finish. The base of The “Elizabeth” was done with Cracked Gesso and milk paint; the combination creates a perfect example of a French Proventuial piece.
