"Several architects did drawings for me, but none had the feeling I was looking for. Then I talked to builder/designer Steve Berg. He was very good about understanding what I wanted. He reproduced the Ernest Flagg columns in the original portico and retained the sense of architecture present in other areas of the house.’” Douglas Martin, Southern Living May 1997

"'We wanted to open up the house and make it more livable. We love France -- we go to Provence every summer -- so we wanted a French look. But it was Steve's creativity that made the project work.' Berg looked at the couple's travel photographs and listened to their stories before transforming a basic brick house into a French country cottage." Betsy Sugerman, Fall 2002 House Beautiful Home Remodeling & Decorating

"One thing I've learned from working with Steve when he says it's probably going to look good like this, it always does.” “We told Steve... that we wanted water and light, and that's exactly what we got. The other night there was a full moon out at a perfect angle over the river to shine right in our bedroom." David and Beverly Boone July 1999 Homestyle Magazine
