The Carmel Pine Cone, Carmel-by-the-Sea
“Our realtor recommended Debra Drake Interior Design when we bought our home in Pebble Beach, and we are so pleased he did! She managed renovation work for us since our primary home is in the San Francisco Bay Area, Debra then furnished our entire estate (nearly 6000 square feet) with custom furnishings and accessories, and completed the project with custom bedding and window treatments throughout. During the renovation she quickly had our guest cottage completed so we would have a place to stay during the construction phase of the main house. Things like this helped keep the stress of the renovation work to a minimum for us. We are so happy with the work she did, and would use her again without hesitation if we have another design project. Her creativity, responsiveness and organization skills are wonderful. And, importantly, we had a lot of fun working together on the project.”

“Debra helped us create a wonderful, warm environment in our Carmel Point home. We began with just the living room as a project. However, she quickly gained our trust and confidence, and we asked her to furnish and accessorize our entire home. We are very happy with Debra’s work, and plan to use her for our new home in Otter Cove. Not only is she a talented designer, she is very organized, professional, and thorough.”
