Client’s summer text: The baseboard install began earlier. It’s starting to feel more real.

Client’s summer text: Sink and faucet arrived, we opened and inspected, heavy but no issues. The sink is fantastic, Jan we love it, great choice! Happy Weekend

Client’s spring text: Hi Jan, good work today, it is getting funner all the time.

Oh Summer, I miss you! However, Fall is the most vibrant of the seasons.

This space previously had unused seating for 6. Now they cozy up to the fire and tell stories.

Meaningful to you

This was an empty space off of the dining room that now indulges in morning sun and garden privacy.

Jan offered quality & interesting materials and suggested ideas that would have never occurred to me. Some ideas, while adventurous, upon acceptance, gave visual impact upon completion and pleased me that I’d avoided my usual conservative space.
