“Denise did an amazing job transforming my beat up kids play room into a fabulous meditation retreat space. I didn’t think it was possible but she had a vision! She absolutely exceeded my expectations. Denise knew exactly the feel that I was looking for in the space and the final product is exactly what I wanted. She is easy and fun to work with and totally reliable! I highly recommend her for any projects, large or small!”
BESPOKE design
The word ‘bespoke’ is just a fancy word for ‘custom’. Whichever word you prefer, there is something very special about creating an item that has never been seen before! The possibilities are endless when designing something from scratch. Color, size and details are all unique to the parameters of the project and the clients personal style preference.

The common element throughout is good design. There’s always a reason why an element is chosen for a certain place, whether it’s a colorful painting in a room or a specific fabric on a chair. There’s also a functionality to every item that is unique to each project’s solution. It’s sort of like an oversized jigsaw puzzle with a place and reason for each piece.
“Your rooms are like a painting. Each component is a brushstroke to create the whole picture. It’s magic every time!”
