  Email Mark

Whether you flip through design magazine after design magazine, or spend hours watching decorating shows on television, most clients still don't know quite where to begin when it comes to design projects for their homes. Consulting with a qualified design professional is always a good start, according to Stoma's designer Mark LeFeaux.

"Whenever possible, I like to sit down for an initial consultation in my clients' homes to assess their needs and get a feel for the space and the design elements of the room," says Mark, "then it's much easier to determine the best course of action." Whether creating comfortably casual or elegant interiors, the real challenge is finding just the right pieces that truly reflect the unique personal style of the individual...with nearly 20 years of experience in the field, Mark has become an expert at doing just that.

  Email Yvette

My love for interior design began early in my life, reinforced by my mother ordering a subscription to Architectural Digest for me at age 12! I began collecting antiques in my teens and went on to study Interior Design and Art History in college.

I have spent over 24 years in various aspects of the design business - buying, selling, and consulting in the residential and commercial arenas. The scope of these experiences has ranged from single family residential projects to commercial offices, including hard surface specifications and furniture selection and placement.

I always begin by listening. Each job involves qualifying the needs and wants of the client. I visit the home to familiarize myself with the client and the use of their spaces. After learning the color and style preferences, I can begin my work. My goal is to provide my clients with solutions that respond to their needs and bring comfort and function to their life.
