                                The 'Inspiration' for her Designs

During a ski trip to central NH, a for sale sign in the front of a church caught her eye and sparked her interest.  Within days, she purchased the church with the intent to turn it into her home and Design Studio.  The church enjoyed it's final summer season, and in late fall of 2002, the planning and construction began.  Major construction lasted for over two years, while Dawn's business grew at the same time.  As her business flourishes the church remains the source of her inspiration, looking much as it did over 100 years ago.
