BUILD A ROOM: A DESERT DREAM

BY MARISSA NELUMS

A Desert Dream is a sanctuary where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with the serenity of nature. This luxurious oasis is a blend of tranquility, and adventure. The warm sultry tones pair perfectly with art of the Antelope canyon.

“My favorite recent project was for a star Chicago Bulls player. The budget was wide and the creative freedom was given to me. We designed over 8,000 sqft of luxury. We used tons of neutrals and dark, moody colors to create a masculine aesthetic.”

“Our designs are custom made for each client, they are totally as individual as the client and their personalities this is what inspires my design office to put us ahead of the curve. Both of these projects spark individuality, the very trait that has become my signature, not a look but a feeling. To have executed a mirror image of the client's personality is the greatest compliment a designer can achieve.”
