She works with clients who have the means and desire to create, remodel or redesign custom homes for themselves and their families, but they're limited on time availability, not clear on what their options are, or are overwhelmed with their choices and all the decisions they need to make. They're not sure they know where to find the right products without making expensive mistakes. They might try to do it themselves, but don't want to be embarrassed by the result. Or they love the work of a well-known, high-end designer, and want their own homes to reflect that beauty, married with their own personalities and lifestyles.

Stacey’s designs have depth and meaning specifically for each client household, from single, affluent men to luxury family residences. She has truly elevated the level of artistic interior design with successful client-centric projects and very happy results.... See More
