It is a refuge and a sanctuary, a place to make memories and to experience life's joys. Bobbi started her design career as a young girl when she fell in love with her father's barn full of antique furniture and collectibles, carefully arranging these treasures and dreaming of where they would eventually find a home. Today, she has a full-service interior design firm that is passionate about creating interiors that respect the style and character of a home as well as its owners.
