Nikki Knight began collecting furniture, decorative objects, (and clothing/accessories)when she was just 16 years old. She'd display her interesting finds in her home (or on her person) with pride.

Nikki had vision. She knew that these items were exceptional-and she was right. Many of her finds are signed by artists and designers and are fine examples of excellent craft throughout the past 100 years. It is that type of vision that got Nikki dubbed by her friends and family as "The Keeper of the Treasures."

Many of her objects d'art will soon be featured in Revamp, our onsite boutique.

Dana Mortensen, LEED AP,  is the owner of Eco interiors, a design firm that provides eco-logical and stylish solutions for renovating and constructing new interiors. "Sustainable" or "Green" design is concerned with the ecological, economic, health, safety, and social impact of design, architecture, and building practices.

During her first career as a Licensed Professional Counselor for those with life-threatening illnesses, Dana realized the fragility of life and the importance of pursuing each day with passion and intention.

Encouraged to follow her artistic dreams, Dana returned to school to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in interior design from Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL (FIDER Accredited).  While at Ringling, Dana was one of an elite group of students selected to design an evidence-based, sustainable prototype for The Wellness Community's international cancer support facilities.
Since then, Dana has worked both independently and with architectural firms on renovation and new construction projects, in both the residential and commercial markets. She is a LEED Accredited Professional (USGBC).
