50 Years In The Making

Celebrate Our 50 Year Anniversary

Helping Clients Love Their Home For 50 Years

50 Years ago, Joanna started her business as a solo entrepreneur because she wanted the opportunity to do what she loved and created the perfect job for herself. Growing her business based on client needs the business evolved from drapery and fabric to a full-service interior design and renovation firm. Over the years our clients have been at the heart of the business with many of them returning time and time again.
