In the spirit of the Arts & Crafts Movement, I believe in combining the treasures of the past with the innovation of today. Thoughtful design and craftsmanship with respect for nature and tradition is reflected in the beauty, comfort, and efficiency of the home. Technology, art, and the home become one in the new meaning of being at home in the twenty-first century."
