Many of our clients have a second or third home. You don't need to be there while it comes together: you approve the design, and we handle the ordering, delivery and installation.

A complimentary discovery call

Ready when you arrive

The hardest part of furnishing a second home is that you aren't there. Deliveries arrive when nobody is home, pieces show up damaged, the sofa doesn't fit through the door. We manage all of it and you walk into a finished house: beds made, art hung, dishes in the cabinets.

Designed for how you use it

A beach house takes sand, wet towels, guests and a lot of people at the table at once. We choose performance fabrics, washable slipcovers, durable rugs and finishes that handle salt air, and we plan for sleeping more people than the house was drawn for.

Talk it through with us. A complimentary discovery call is the first step.

The shore

We work at second homes across the Delaware beaches, including Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Bethany Beach, Ocean View, Fenwick Island and Millsboro, where a client's condo we designed was selected for a Parade of Homes event. On the Maryland side, Ocean City, Berlin and the Eastern Shore. See interior design on the Delaware beaches.

Farther away

We designed a client's Florida home on Sanibel Island from start to finish, inside and out. For homes beyond driving distance, virtual design gives you a complete plan to carry out.

Debbi is a visionary.

We knew the style we wanted in our homes, and Debbi took our ideas and added to them, giving us a finished product that exceeded our expectations. Thanks to her work, our condo was selected to be in a Parade of Homes event and our house is now used by the builder to showcase the quality and potential beauty of their homes.

Questions

Do I need to be at the house during the project?
No. Most second home clients aren't. We meet at the start, you approve the design, and we handle the rest with updates as it comes together.
Can you furnish a rental property?
Yes. We design condos, rentals and vacation homes, with fabrics and finishes chosen to hold up to guests.
Can you work on my primary home and my beach house?
Yes, and it often helps. We already know your taste, so the second house goes faster.
