This Portola Valley project is one of those cases. I began working with this client six years ago at their ... Keep Reading >>
Portola Valley Perfect Pantry
I love it when something new gives a nod to something old and this Portola Valley custom pantry does not disappoint. Our clients completely remodeled a beautiful country estate with antique elements that had me questioning, "is that original" every step of the way.

Traveling Organizers: Lake Tahoe Vacation Home
The last few weeks of 2017 were packed with traveling organizing adventures including a trip to Lake Tahoe to unpack and organize a beautiful Truckee vacation home in Schaffer Mills, just down the street from the 2014 HGTV Dream Home.
