Florence's rich musical heritage, from Sam Phillips to FAME Studios, reminds me that every space needs its own rhythm and harmony. When designing custom built-in bookshelves for homes in the Shoals area, I draw inspiration from the way music brings order to sound - creating organized, beautiful spaces that flow naturally. It's about crafting storage solutions that sing in harmony with your home's character.
