When asked about her new home and and her inspirations, Carmen said the following: “Oh boy.... I grew up around construction. Many family vacations included driving around and looking at homes and design. We like casual not fussy. I didn’t want a huge home.... just big enough space to entertain and be comfortable. We love handcrafted items and earthy. Things that have a traveled look. Stephanie made our vision a reality. She knew us and our style, she was not pushy. Meeting with her was like meeting and chatting with a friend.”
