He also feels that the interior of a home or office should reflect the personality of the person he works with. Completed Projects:

As overseer of this company, Don's managerial style strives to empower the company's employees to do the best they can in all facets of this business and in interior design. He continually mines the talents and strengths of the designers, and has realized there is an endless supply of natural resources within each of them. Don considers himself blessed that he gets to work daily with such a talented group of people. Don is actually quite the innovator when it comes to interior design. He developed the first fireplace in Spokane County that doesn't need a glass front. He also developed a glazing technique that is used over hardi-board. It gives a stucco look at a fifth of the cost of real stucco. It is particularly well suited to use when trying to achieve an 'Old World', 'Cottage', 'Craftsman', or 'Tudor' look. Don recently finished an interesting hardwood floor installation at his personal residence. It is end-cut Hemlock, Oak, and Fir in a Herringbone Brick Pattern. By changing the way the surface is finished, this hardwood floor can be used in many different applications. From 'Rustic', 'Log Cabin', and 'Rustic Elegance' to 'Sophisticated Asian' looks, this floor can pull it off. |
