Furniture and finishings
Efficient space planning is at the core of our design philosophy. We optimize layouts to enhance flow and functionality, creating living spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and highly practical. We'll work together to select pieces you'll love for years to come, and finish the space with paint, wallcoverings and fixtures as needed.
We had the pleasure of working with Tara Bates to do the furnishings in our Pelican Marsh home. We really enjoyed the great service Tara offered. She was on time, returned phone calls promptly, kept on top of any problems and most important, had good decorating ideas along with being a pleasant person to work with. Tara's merchant and vendor contacts saved us a considerable amount of time, limiting the amount of shopping we had to do. She listened to our suggestions and incorporated them with her ideas coming up with furnishings that are both functional and appealing. We are proud of the end result. Tara's services helped make furnishing our home a pleasant experience. We would highly recommend Tara and are really appreciative of the guidance she offered.
