About

Our approach blends classic style with fresh perspective, honoring the character of your home while enhancing how it looks and lives today.

I’ve been immersed in home remodeling, decorating, and the antique business my entire life. Both my grandmother and mother owned antique shops in New York, and from a young age I learned how to thoughtfully stage furniture and accessories to bring a space to life. Clients often engaged them for decorating guidance, and I was fortunate to accompany them, gaining hands-on experience and an early appreciation for design.

At the same time, my father was renovating and flipping homes long before it became mainstream. My mother and I worked alongside him, making decisions on tile, wood, color palettes, and carpeting—experiences that sharpened my eye for detail and functionality.

After college, I took a very different path, building a career in the software and professional services industry. For more than 25 years, I’ve led high-performing talent acquisition teams, developing a strong foundation in strategy, leadership, and client partnership—skills I now bring full circle to my work in design and home transformation.

Look forward to seeing you in sunny Naples, FL or beautiful Dutchess County, NY. 

Fondly,

Sue
