When my husband and I knew we would be retiring to live in the home that my parents had custom built in the early seventies, we also knew that we did not want to change its essential character and personality When we shared this desire with Christine, she described the home as "rustic and refined" and agreed to use this as her designing principle. After completing the project in two phases over almost two years, we couldn't be more pleased (kitchen, two bathrooms, dining room, living room). Her choices of colors, materials, and craftsmen to implement the designs were all well considered and "spot on", even if unexpected and a bit unconventional. We would work with her again in a heartbeat!!!
