DeCesare Design Group (aka DDG):

Established in 2008, Caroline Tyler DeCesare fearlessly leads her team of design experts in the art of creating the perfect spaces for her clients. Specializing in luxury residential interiors for over 25 years, Caroline has gained invaluable experience in many different styles and locales. DDG is well known for organization, meticulous attention to detail and a turnkey experience (bring your toothbrush, DDG will handle everything else). The greatest compliment is the repeat clients who have become family over the years- now designing for 2nd and 3rd generations. While each member focuses on different roles, the team at DDG is unified in purpose to deliver a home where your family can live and love in fully functional comfort and style. 

This property was originally home to the, once-famous, Barn Boutique. An old barn sat on this spot and housed an annual gathering of artisans and craftswomen (and really great cinnamon rolls).  A local holiday annual tradition.   Subsequently sold to a Lutheran congregation, the existing building was renovated and added on to as a house of worship in the 2010’s.   Fast forward to 2021 when DeCesare Companies purchased the property and it became affectionately known as HQ, and is now the new HQ of both DeCesare Design Group and Allison Tyler Jones Photography.
