Interior Designers
"Thank you, CDG, for all you and your group are doing on this project. I know you do this for a living, but it is apparent to myself and my wife that you are not only exceptional at what you do, but you really, really care about an end result and the process, as well. We have always felt like we had nice taste, but absolutely have seen a need for your direction/advice/ and counsel." S.Scott West
