Lately I have been dreaming in Art Nouveau, I find all the curves and asymmetry so interesting to look at.  I would love to be able to go back and visit Bing's Pavillion at the  Paris exhibition of 1900, or be a guest at Victor Horta's home.  I guess I will just have to settle for looking at beautiful pictures and hope to get back to Paris and Brussels soon!

    About Vallery...

    I live outside of Boston with my husband, two children, and dog. For the past 8 years I have been working with clients to help them make their home dreams a reality. From helping to build homes from the ground up to helping round out already finished spaces, I listen to my clinets and let their vision guide our process. I have always been a creative person planning spaces and working to make them function better. After completing the Residential Interiors program at Boston Architectural College I learned how to combine my love for funcion and flow with my eye for color, scale, and balance. As a graduate of New York University's Stern School of Business, I understand project planning and budget management. My experience working with clients, contractors, and architects helps to coordinate and streamline the home building and renovation process, helping my clients to have the home they dream of with less of the stress that comes with building and decision making.
