DESIGNER
FINE ARTIST

For over a decade, Molly has enjoyed the beautiful spaces of Gunnison, Colorado. She studied Fine Art at the local University and has detailed experience in Kitchen and Bath design.

WHO ARE WE?

We are artists.

Our professional background in the Fine Arts enhances our interior design services. We exhibit basic elements and principals of design within the spaces we create: Colors, textures, and forms highlight details; Contrasting patterns, proportions, and rhythms create dimension. Our result is a cohesive domain that artfully inspires an individual, friends and family, and community.

Brateman, Jeff

“Molly's design ideas and skills really brought my project levels beyond what I thought was possible. Guests to my place have all commented about the design, and how right every room looks, especially the kitchen. It really is a piece of art. You can't go wrong choosing Molly, and I thank her for all her great choices!"
