Moving By Design

Marla Davidson is becoming a familiar brand to people driving along West Kennedy Boulevard. For almost a year now, her name has emblazoned a large sign just east of Himes Avenue — possibly catching drivers' attention because of its similarity to the motorcycle.

After a decade operating her own interior design business, she is hoping to make her name practically as popular among fans of decorative tile and stone. Her 2,800-square-foot showroom, which opened last May, serves not only as a showcase of various examples of what can be done with tile mosaics, but it makes for a nice event hall as well.

“It's the smartest move I have ever made,” says Davidson, who has hosted groups such as the Florida Orchestra Guild, Coldwell Banker and the Luxury Marketing Council. “It has been wonderful so far. We have received rave reviews from our customer base.”
