Bonnie Pierson


Bonnie's love for home design started when she and Mike would spend weekends away going through open houses. When they moved home to Burlington in 2001, she designed the home they built for their family, and so it began. Her focus is on design that is current but also has long standing appeal. Over the years she has built a reputation for beautiful design along with high quality at a great value in all her projects. In recent years she has also helped with the design aesthetics for their commercial developments.
