Jennifer has lived in Brunswick County for over 30 years and has 20+ years experience in interior design. 

A Tradition of Craftsmanship

Robert’s grandfather was a well-known and highly-repected shrimp-boat builder in Brunswick County. Robert came by his strong work ethic and attention to detail naturally.

How we Work

Client-focused process, that puts the needs of the client at the center of the project.

Every build begins and ends with the client.

Staying out of the Dog House 

Outdoor spaces are important in our neck of the woods. Oceanfront houses often have pools, an outdoor dining area and lounge. Some even have outdoor kitchens.

They are no less important for mainland houses. No longer relegated to the space you go when you are “in the doghouse,” this outdoor getaway brings the family together outdoors.
