Portfolio

Here is a project we did not that long ago. Projects like this are so successful because of Randy's commitment to understanding our clients needs. The outcome is a space that exudes a sense of calm, natural peace, and relaxed luxury.

People We Love!


George Washington Smith, (February 22, 18761930), was an American Architect and painter. He is noted particularly for his work around Santa Barbara, California, and for popularizing the Spanish Colonial Revival style in early 20th Century America.

His style formatted Santa Barbara's iconic look. You can find more about G.W.S and his work at:

THINGS WE LOVE!!!

Alexander Girard's wooden dolls that were recently re-issued by the Vitra Design Museum. Girard first created these dolls in 1963 when designing artwork for his Santa Fe home. Each doll is individually packaged in its own wooden gift box.



Here is a great desk organizer by Vincent Mallory of Sueno Design. Simple yet elegant.


This calculator by Amadana is by far one of the coolest looking calculator's on the market. Had I had this in High School I would not have done so bad in Calculus!
