Our Work
“My work is inspired by the masters including Albert Hadley, Mies Van der Rohe, Phillip Johnson, and Madeline Stewart. Nature has been the most important inspiration in my life. Restraint, patience, color and texture that endures.”

Interior Design Meets Function
“Modern interior design is based on the principles of the modernism movement of the 19th and 20th centuries, Bauhaus philosophy and architecture and the development of affordable and practical design. Furniture, art and decoration moved away from ornate styles only available to the wealthy elite, to more practical, minimal styles for the masses.”
-Hannah Newton, LivingETC
“The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what’s in or what’s out. This is not an easy job.”
-ALBERT HADLEY
