Prior to traveling to SIHH, as I confirmed my appointments, I was asked if I would like a private interview with AP Artistic Director Octavio Garcia. It did not take even a moment to accept this incredible offer. As a custom residential designer myself, I...

I am a big fan of these! Looking forward to the possibility of more 'Notches' ;)
