OUR STORY

Russ and Becky have been married for 35 years, have two young adult children Kaley and Cameron and a new daughter-in-law Holland, and reside in Serenbe, GA.  

 

Russ & Becky often share…

“While our faith (being in the Christian tradition) roots who we are and all we do, we truly value the lenses of all folks, faiths, and traditions — and as we often say, all are welcome at the table!” 

 

“We also value family and a multi-generational household, as well as the wisdom, messiness, and joys that come along with that. We have been known to have 3 generations living together in our household, and usually sharing a meal every day all together. Our tables have had to function for 8 year olds and 80 year olds. Fun times!  This has truly given us a multi-generational perspective for design!”

 

“We are also grateful to have traveled (and still do) throughout this beautiful world, and find inspiration in the beauty, excellence, communal spirit, traditions, and timeless designs we come across.  We are particularly inspired by the designs and traditions in Switzerland, Germany,  Sweden, Australia, and in the United States particularly the California coastline, the Uinta Mountains in Utah, and the forest trails of Serenbe, Georgia.”

 

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR STORY,  AND YOUR DESIGN VISION…
