Poetic Clutter- For the Love of Old

Vintage is back! Though it has never left, we are seeing trends of homes filled with obscure flea market tresures and fresh airy color templates. Shades of blue, green and sweet yellows that make you feel at home. Living with peeling paint, electic clutter, and weathered things that bring character and comfort to the home.

Sultry, Exotic & Soulful! Design inspired by travel & culture

Design has found comfort in making a pattern out of chaos. Using ethnic prints and colors inpired by colorful cuisine we have embarked on a Transcolaborative journey. Hues of Indigo, Purple, Burgandy, Red and Gold ignite the senses and inspire ethnic flair!

Hot tip to lower your carbon foot print this summer!

Watch the Temp! Almost half a home's energy consumption is due to heating and cooling.


To keep cool during the summer, shade your east and west windows and delay heat-generating activities such as dishwashing until the evening.


Turn down the thermostat in cold weather and keep it higher in warm weather. While keeping your thermostat at 78 F in warmer weather will save you energy and money.


Consider using ceiling fans instead of air conditioner. 


Clean your furnsce's air filter monthly during heavy usage.
Consider a new furnace. Today's furnaces are about 25% more efficient than they were in the 1980's. And dont forget to check out furnaces carrying the Energy Star label!
