Company Overview:

I am an architectural designer, an accidental writer, a weekend artist, set designer, thrift shop stroller and big fan of winged back chairs and succulents in colorful containers. I love finding treasures in cobbled stone downtowns and quaint little shops that have history tucked away on dusty shelves. DIY is a dream closer now with Hometalk at my fingertips. I have been in the architecture and construction industry for a long time, from tilt-up concrete wall for LEED certified distribution centers to community ... See More development for a project in Haiti, I have always enjoyed the interaction between building, cities and spaces between them. As someone who loves design, I love solving spatial problems, coordinating colors, finding deals, reviewing market trends and keeping everyone happy. I love what I do and I am here to share my adventures and challenges as a designer in the form of project pictures and renderings of my designs during various phases of the project. I would love to help and share my knowledge to this community. When I am not working on homes I update my blog www.greenurbanmotifs.wordpress.com, look for inexpensive ways to improving my home and photographing my 2 girls. . Collapse

  out due to a great fescue lawn in the neighborhood. They will be aerating and overseeding in August/September and guarantee a great lawn.
  I find it cheaper per application of weed killer and fertilizer than my buying the product and spreading it myself.

  contractor and figure our cost/square foot. As Steve said there are a lot of variable, so your questions cannot be answered without knowing all these variable.
  The construction industry can be a monster if you have no background in taking a project like this, but that why you have professionals like contractors and architects to make this process easier.

A bit of History- the owner told me he grew up with these chairs and they are about 35 years. I do not see a maker label as the chairs were reupholstered 12 years ago.

We love to help out interns over the summers. We are a design/build firm. Let me know if that would be something that she would be interested in. She will receive a lot of hands on design experience.

Old weathered door turned coffee table

Hey Hometalkers! I wanted to share this coffee table that my handy husband created for me using some furniture grade wood, spindle legs, an old wooden door ... »
and some copper piping. My neighbor had this weathered old exterior door out on the curb for trash pickup. I stopped and asked if we could have it, and he hand delivered it to my basement! My husband cut it in half, framed it out and added legs, then added the copper pipe as an accent underneath. I absolutely love the way this table turned out. It's sturdy and is perfect for my son to race his cars around the "tracks". Thanks for letting me share! :) http://unskinnyboppy.blogspot.com/2011/08/old-door-coffee-table.html
