Love the ceramic pieces and beautiful artwork of the local artists. I really connect with the idea of incorporating travel experiences into your decor. That is very much a part of global style design, which is my favorite.

I love the idea of designing a vacation theme into your interiors. What a fortunate client to have you doing this for the so skillfully, Lisa. And I love that you always try to source local art for your interiors. I can only imagine how much the art community there appreciates that.

Bringing the vacation in our homes….brilliant! The art above the bed would certainly have me falling asleep thinking of the ocean. Beautiful space and I’m sure your clients are just thrilled!
