Dorette, the 4Cs’ principal, consults on functional space planning including illumination, and offers detailed architectural drafting.

To uplift a Country Sofa
To uplift a country sofa This country sofa was in need of a more elegant appearance. It was achieved by adding contemporary window treatments of a floral fabric, reflecting the hues of the sofa as well as a pair of cast iron table lamps, enhancing inherited slate-top side tables; all contributing to the new look. / To uplift a Country Sofa
Texan Nook
This masculine appearing breakfast area with a unique combination of wood and slate for a large table top and matching massive, hand-carved chairs was the perfect choice for a bachelor living in Austin, Texas. / Texan Nook
Which is the real Brick Wall?
The genuine brick surround of the fire place was reflected opposite of this living space, around the kitchen and breakfast area, to bring it all together, and to visually shorten the unusually long family room. Such is the magic of faux finishing. / Which is the real Brick Wall?
Conversation Corner
This living space is ideal for friends getting together for a good discussion or chatting. Enough comfortable seating for more than half a dozen people in a toned-down traditional atmosphere. / Conversation Corner
