Our Work

Our goal is to create a home that will reflect the lifestyle and energy of our clients.
We seek first to understand their needs, then to unearth a home that tells their story.


It is our belief that all homes should stimulate our senses e-v-e-r-y time we enter the space.  When we create wholehearted homes based off of ideas that touch on historical integrity, we then create intrigue.

Cotswolds Farmhouse

Handmade has a whole new meaning when we experience this home!


Handmade is something we seek, artisanal elements that speak to the soul.  ‘Honest’ materials that take us somewhere.  When Desiree designs a home — she wants all to feel and be connected to human creation.  To feel the energy of the farmer who built the furniture piece from his or her heart.


When we feel connected to those who make our goods — we value human creation in imperfect ways.   The more our world is pushing mass-produced objects with automated impulses, the more we want to embrace nature.

This home is layered with rough-hewn Timbers and textures that historically connect us to nature.   A timeless process of well-being that grounds us to the land.

This home is ‘honest’ and reflects on the Stoke’s ancestral heritage with integrity.  It is a gift to the community!

"The eye — it cannot choose but see; we cannot bid the ear be still; our bodies feel, where’er they be, against or with our will."

Flemish Estate

A beautiful estate home designed from Belgian/Flemish influence. 

 

The minimal organic elements of painted brick and raw, earthy reclaimed beams give homage to the outdoors of Midway, Ut.
 

Designed from the land, this home is the perfect canvas for mixing elegant/traditional touches, juxtaposed with raw imperfections. 


This home allows one to enter, sit back and enjoy the beauty of self expression.

French Bastide

When one thinks of the French, they think of distinct, historical ideas created from the heart.  The French are masters at creating a place based off of cultural truth.  They focus on what nourishes their souls through generational design and culinary arts.  Ideas that touch on the soul passed down through generations.  One starts to feel of rich, decorative layers that tell a story.


This French Bastide does just that.  Elegance, mixed with historic touches of minimalism.  Throughout the home are beautiful, layered Swedish antiques that reflect simple reflections of neo-classical detailing.
This home reflects the perfect, pursuit of passion.  Rich, decorative layers allows one to feel originality known as ingenuity.  The French have always looked at themselves as those who move away from the collective consciousness of design.  They adapted their own ideas of authenticity.
This beautiful, French home is reflective in this idea of consciousness.

English Costal Cottage

"Beauty is nothing other than the promise of happiness".

~ Stendhal

When Desiree designed this home, she wanted all who entered to feel welcomed and at peace.  Simple, abundant living based off of ideas that eliminate the non-essentials. 

True happiness comes from being present and having the mindset of embracing beauty in imperfect.  We are all evolving and becoming.  We do this through everyday creating.  Our homes should be a safe space of healing, so that we can be our best selves for others.

Desiree loves the idea of a home being a place where belonging, love and balance reside.


"Whatever is sought for can be caught… whatever is neglected slips away."  ~ Sophocles
