Hey everybody! Vanguard Design Group will be giving a presentation on our "Back to the Drawing Board" initiative tomorrow morning at Nautical Deli in St. Clair Shores. There will be opening networking starting at 9:45am before the presentation. We are going to discuss where we are headed in 2017 and why design should never be an afterthought. Come out to see what we have in store for our clients, check out some recent work, and have an amazing lunch to go with it! We will be giving away a small prize to one of the guests attending the presentation as well!

VDG was thrilled to be a part of this project. This home was in rough shape when we were brought on, but Jerry Maliszewski from Homevestors saw great potential in this home. We were happy to work with him through the design process and work with his contractor Brian Huddlestone of United Carpenters Group during construction. If you are looking for a home in Clinton Township right now this one is a must see!
