Buyer’s remorse set in right away, when Dean Hill unlocked his new studio in Dupont Circle. The staging furniture was gone, and all he could see was 467 square feet of empty floor. “Omigod! I just paid too much money for a closet!” Dean remembers thinking. Luckily, he took Monty Python’s lead and looked at the bright side of life: “It’s mine now. Let me make the best of it,” he said to himself. He found our own Jaye Langmaid and Tucker Riner through a quick online search for local furniture shops, and discovered that we’re even more: A design studio that also sells furniture. “I looked at their website and saw that they had design packages to choose from,” he says. “That’s exactly what I needed.”
And that’s where Jaye and Tucker came to his rescue. A blank space that needs to be furnished and decorated for multiple functions? Dean needed our Design Salvation, Jaye says, a top-to-bottom makeover to take maximum advantage of every inch in Dean’s small studio. “He’s getting more out of this condo than I think he ever hoped for.”
“I have a 3D Imagination. I could see the space done to scale.”
