The Heart Of The Period

In order to offer the best possible knowledge base, we hold a large collection of period resources. Our library includes period books on interior design, trade catalogs, period photographs, salesman samples & design models, examples of period wallpapers, and numerous other items to help illustrate the various nuances of period design.

Kitchen Brilliance

We also understand that people generally don't want to live in a museum, thus we strive to incorporate the modern amenities that people want in their homes, while still achieving the look and feel of a chosen period as closely as possible. Kitchens and bathrooms are often the most re-muddled spaces in a historic home, and we often are focused on those areas.
