A stylish doctor and an impossibly elegant lawyer have spent over a decade collecting degrees and accolades. With their careers stabilized, they finally turn their attention to purchasing their dream home. It is full of beautiful ceiling coffers and golden light, but it lacks a certain je-ne-sais-quoi.

We learn so much through observation when we meet our clients. His favorite piece of clothing is a leather biker jacket; he collects records and his drink is an Old Fashioned. She can’t walk past an antique or used book store without picking up treasures, and her daydreams float along in the Seine in Paris.

Thus, to add personality and elegance to their new home, we blended their exquisite tastes. Mix the essence of French sophistication with a rebellious rocker edge. Personalize it with inspirations from ancestral Asia, historical family photos (of very glamorous relatives), and a kiss of that Man-Men cool factor. The end result is layered with personality and style - just like the clients.
