Interior - Design is a very active design practice led by Jane
(Cubby) Derby. It provides interior design services from Boston
to the "Lakes Region" of New Hampshire, the New
England coast and beyond. The style is ageless with a rich traditional feel. With extensive
knowledge of materials (particularly fabrics and wall coverings) and
sources of fine furnishings across the United States & Europe,
she works with a wide variety of contractors but recommends only
a few.

locations that span the U.S. & Europe...particularly
southern France
