During the last 25 years they have worked on projects as diverse as restoring a cottage in Ireland, refurbishing a large London Georgian house and furnishing a ski chalet outside Geneva - as well as redesigning numerous principal and vacation homes in the United States, mainly in the Princeton area. Mary Dampier studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology and New York School of Interior Design and at Christie's in New York.
Tara Dennison has lived in Europe and the Far East and brings an "eclectic European feel " to her design style. Tara and Mary work together on all aspects of the design process. They "paint" a portrait of their clients, helping them clarify their own tastes. As Tara says, "a house needs to reflect the personalities and preferences of the people who live in it - not the vanities of the interior designers".
Mary adds, We love to mix styles and periods adding energy and interest to a setting. Our goal is to make a home for "real life", not a stage set. They achieve this by having an unparalleled network of resources - whether it's architects, builders, faux-finish painters, specialist showrooms, antique shops, furniture repairers or even flea markets.

This project involved designing an eco-friendly home for a retiree in the fabulous colonial Spanish city of Merida.
Special attention has been given to the materials used - including lighting and ventilation/cooling of the home, layout of the rooms, water usage and specialized construction elements for minimal cost and environmental impact.
This characterful one story home stays true to its Spanish Colonial design, with high ceilings and strong architectural detailing throughout, using locally sourced stone, tile, and wrought iron which are abundant in this part of the world.

Our recent extensive and complicated renovation was relatively stress-free because they were there at every stage to help us make the best decisions.
Their tasteful and creative design ideas gave us options that fit our budget and lifestyle, with the result that our home is both beautiful and comfortable, and uniquely reflects our family's style and personality.
We love our new home, and are very proud to share it with family and friends.
We comment every day on how wonderful the house looks and how incredibly functional it is.

As Interior Designers who love to recycle, we strive to find unusual things for our clients.
Alex brings our visions to life.
He is extraordinarily talented and our secret weapon and general miracle worker!
Understatement is extremely important and crossing too many 't's' and dotting too many 'i's' make a room look overdone and tiresome.
