Barbara's advice to homeowners:

“Choose a designer as you would choose a therapist — Work with someone who has the skills that you need, but also is someone that you can talk to, that “gets you” and listens to what you have to say.”

Quote from customer Neil Leonard, The Gift:

“One of our friends called it the best bar on Beacon Hill. And you know something else? I even look forward to cooking now.”
