Home
We share how we successfully designed and built two additions in our last home. We enjoyed it for twenty years, but when we decided to sell it, we were grateful for the price we received. Right now we are busy turning our Ocean Dunes Fixer into a Coastal Modern retreat. My Interior Design training at Online Design Courses | New York Institute of Art & Design (nyiad.edu) allows me to design our spaces, as well as share simple, beautiful ideas for your home. Jim’s experience and research ensures you will get smart design, construction, and plumbing tips. We spent our quarantine time working on SketchUp for our future home in Montana. Check my site to see a few versions of our Mountain Modern design renderings.

We live in paradise, so when we travel we head to the mountains. Check my site to learn about the time spent in our national, state, and local parks.
