Featured at Fall 2022 High Point Market was this over-the-top extravagantly designed sofa with leopard fabric embedded with 2.4 million cut crystal stones and a brushed brass frame. It was shown at the premier of Eichholtz’s new collaboration with German fashion designer Phillip Plein. Meeting the designer was quite an experience!

He claimed, “Decorating is about making memories.” I wholeheartedly agreed as I have inspirational memories from my childhood visit to the Grand Hotel, […]
My clients wanted to feel like they were on vacation at home, so we designed their main bath remodel to resemble a 5-Star Hotel. We found the mirrors that are used in high end hotels. They are perfect for applying make-up, can be dimmed for ambiance and include a backlight feature as a night light.

Then we added new lighting and fans. The new backsplash ties […]
