Interior Designer II



Nicole Shaw Head-shot

“Oh, it’s delightful to have ambitions. I’m so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be an end to them – that’s the best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life so interesting.” –L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
