Maternal Wisdom

Nifelle Design revitalized this Dunthorpe Tudor with a chic and comfortable new living room that honors the home’s historic charm.

“Mv mother is amazing, and I am who I am because of the incredible example she sets.,” Leonard shares. “Forget half-full, my mother’s glass is forever over-flowing! And that’s because she always works hard and believes in her dreams to make it so. Growing up there was never a time where I thought I couldn’t do something or achieve something because she beleived in me unconditionally–so I just naturally believed in me too.”
