My twenty years as owner of Embellishments followed on the heels of work in the corporate world, which gave me experience in human resources, contract negotiations and office management. This previous professional experience gave me the skills to manage people, contractors, and large projects.  I rely on a team of professional subcontractors that I have successfully worked with for years.  I also coordinate with architects, contractors, and their teams.   While primarily focused on residential spaces, I also provide services for commercial and academic spaces, such as Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts.  

Upgrading, enhancing, or designing a room should be a fun experience.  I work collaboratively with my clients to create spaces that they can’t wait to use.  All aspects of the project are considered and discussed thoroughly to make certain the end result is exactly what the homeowner wants. 

People ask me what my style is. Personally, I like clean lines, layered textures, calming palettes with strategic pops of color, well placed lighting, and carefully curated art. Yet, I never forget that I am hired to embellish spaces for my clients, not for myself. Therefore, I incorporate design elements that a room calls for, that respect the architecture and bones of the house, that improve flow and usability, all while embracing the client’s personal style preferences.

My passion in decorating is supported by a keen attention to balance and detail. My goal is to design rooms that fit perfectly into my clients’ lives.  I brought my photographer to a residential project site recently.  He walked in the house, looked around and asked, “which rooms did you do here?”   I thought about that question and realized it was the perfect compliment.  When I can do work for clients that fits seamlessly into their surroundings and lifestyle than I have achieved my goal.

Please give Embellishments a call when it’s time to improve your space. Together let’s make it something special.
