Interior designer Gail Claridge was born with a passion for design. As a young bride she began collecting antiques and using her imagination and design abilities to turn her personal residence into a jewel box. Gail’s attention to detail was her strength. Her uniquely designed homes drew great attention and launched Gail into her design career.

Her first retail shop was located in Northridge not far from her Country French home at the edge of Monteria Lake. Gail’s home was the site of many charitable functions and television shows, over the years her business became very successful. It was the 1994 Northridge earthquake that completely destroyed both her home and design firm.

Gail began again in Westlake Village, California. She found a new site for her retail shop and design studio in the Gelson’s Plaza. Gail also earned a contractor’s license in 1982 and is joined on many projects by her son, Joe, who is also a licensed contractor and builder.
