About Our Core Values

  • Designing homes that nurture family life — where neighbors gather, milestones are celebrated, and generations grow together.

  • Honoring the collections, creativity, and craftsmanship that bring beauty, meaning, and connection into everyday living.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

  • Rooted in Lakewood’s spirit of connection — celebrating local life, supporting community, and designing spaces that bring people together.

  • Designing homes that evolve gracefully across life’s seasons, celebrations, and new beginnings — creating a legacy of family, art, and living beautifully.

Faith, family, and design—my guiding lights in life and work. - April Henegar, ASID
