I love
a good jigsaw puzzle. I love taking the
pieces and with careful thought, putting them
back together and creating something beautiful.
This is why I enjoy the challenge of design. I
work diligently with each homeowner, considering
all the pieces of their puzzle, including space,
function, design, and financial investment. Making
this an enjoyable experience and giving my client's
the beautiful room of their dreams is my
ultimate goal!

Jen
Rivard
Design/Project
Manager
"Creating
new spaces and places one dream at
a time" is something I strive to do with each
one of my client's. I love taking an area that
is either nonfunctional or simply outdated and
turning it into this amazing room that you can't
wait to spend time in.
Having
recently graduated from Century College
with a certificate in Kitchen & Bath design,
kitchens and bathrooms are my specialty as a
designer. However, I also enjoy designing other
areas of the home as well. Not only do I strive
to create a dream area in your home, but I also
strive to stay within a budget that works for
you as this is a key element in designing and
creating a dream space in your home.

Mary
Morris Devens
Design/Project
Manager
My
design philosophy is to insure that my client's
space will be beautiful and functional, yet reveal
their personality. I believe working one on one
with a client and obtaining good communication
generates a great design. I enjoy creating com-
puterized floor plans and perspectives to enhance
the customers' visual of their space -before the
investment and project is started. I also have a
great eye for color and enjoy pulling all the
materials together to complete the design. Being
a part of dream space to conversion is a satis-
faction like no other.
Mary
holds a Certificate of Kitchen & Bath Design
from a National Kitchen & Bath Association
endorsed program at Century College.
