slate·studios
When clay, shale, and quartz undergo metamorphism, it produces slate. Metamorphic rocks are hard to come by. They have to undergo immense pressures and temperatures to be transformed.
At Slate Studios, the interiors we design undergo their own metamorphosis. It takes an immense amount of passion, knowledge, and devotion to transform a space. We take pride in being able to provide this experience to our clients.

"After working together, now I definitely want to use Slate Studios to transform even more spaces in my home."
______________________
I have a gorgeous older home with lots of personality, but some odd quirks that weren't practical for my family. Many rooms were in need of renovation. Slate Studios was able to transform them to be functional, and beautiful. I never thought you could actually enjoy doing laundry. But thanks to my lovely new space, I do!
