About

With thoughtful attention to color, light, texture, balance and scale, we create a serene atmosphere within each living space.

Andrea is a highly creative and experienced interior designer with a unique list of local residential projects of varying sizes and design styles to her credit, from beach cottage to clean contemporary to old world rustic.

We provide full interior design services and can assist you with furnishings, new construction or a remodel and addition. Many of our projects are vacation homes for clients who live outside of the Monterey Peninsula, as well as residences for those who’ve chosen to make this unique area their primary home. Completed projects include homes in Carmel, Pebble Beach, Monterey  and the Bay Area.

Andrea Bartholick Pace holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Interior Design from the University of Washington, a five-year program, graduating in 1982. As the daughter of Pacific Northwest architect, George R. Bartholick FAIA, Andrea grew up around contemporary design and historic restoration. Her lifelong passion for interior design has resulted in her creating timeless homes and small luxury resort properties for over 30 years.
