Today, Rhonda and Edie have moved their storefront to Westport, CT where design work has taken center stage and their mission is to, where ever possible, introduce a clean, elegant, and fresh approach to interiors, all with a Scandinavian essence.   They are are the authors of three best selling Scandinavian interior design books: Swedish Interiors (2006, Gibbs Smith ), Swedish Country Interiors (2009, Gibbs Smith) and Reflections on Swedish Interiors (2013, Gibbs Smith).
