We started out in the late 70’s as a ‘boutique’ paint company working with architects and interior designers. As we progressed, we started to do consulting with just color and then on to textiles, hard surfaces and fixtures. In 1987, we were certified and learned the craft of Venetian plaster from actual Italian tradesmen. We introduced this unique surface coating to our clients and it was huge hit! We also incorporate faux paint and murals into our business. In the mid 90’s, our focus moved to the restoration business, mainly because we lived in Long Beach, CA. The area is famous for its effort at preserving classic homes, many of which required restoration on multiple levels. Over the years, we’ve evolved into an architectural design firm that encompasses just about any phase of home improvement, including remodeling and construction of new homes. We specialize in custom crafted kitchens and bathrooms specific to the customer’s needs and wants. We treat every project as if it were our own home. In our line of work, the unexpected is the norm. We start by asking ourselves and our vendors: “if this were your home, how would you remedy the situation?” While we do prepare for the worst, we work diligently to tilt the odds so that the best results are obtained. In our industry, there’s always things improving and new trends developing. There is a consistent growth factor, so we stay up to date. It’s a unique field, really, since it’s got both practical and artistic elements. Not only is professional growth linked to study and on and off-site work experience, it also has elements of artistic traditions. We aren’t slapping paint on a wall. We’re creating an environment unique to the home and its owner. Communication is an extremely important factor . From the beginning, we ask questions to find out what the client truly wants and then we make sure we meet those requirements. Keeping the client in the loop with vendors and suppliers insures we’re all on the same page. By maintaining high professional standards, we have been fortunate to receive the best compliment a customer can give: their personal referral.
