"Unlike so many renovations that err on the side of excess, Watson and architect were careful to revive and rework the handsome house without catapulting over the top. A well-considered wave of shore-like textures - driftwood, grass, rattan, stone - play off the newly added beadboard and paneling in a timeless New England manner. And from the front door to the back, Watson's palette and furnishings are cohesive and appropriate to the home's comfortable easy-breezy nature.”

Every room breathes easier."

New England Home, March/April 2008

"Patti took us through a really great process. She probably asked us fifty questions about how we use our kitchen. What she came back with was not only the cabinets, but the island and a buffet and, from there, the whole place got redone."

Rhode Island Monthly, November 2007

”Watson, in collaboration with the enthusiastic owners, turned the Providence space not only into a chic home but also a fitting showcase. Every detail - from lighting and audio to colors and custom cabinetry - has been meticulously choreographed.”
