Living with Intention:

For Anne and George, home has always been more than a place to live—it’s a reflection of their values: a space shaped by experience, intentional design, and appreciation for craftsmanship. Their journey with Thomas Moser began in 2005, almost accidentally, when Anne stepped into the Georgetown showroom, drawn to a chair in the window. Until that day, she had associated the brand with traditional Windsor styles—“Beautiful, but not quite my style,” she admits.

But this chair was different: sculptural, graceful, quietly strong. “It resonated deeply,” Anne recalls, “not just as a piece of furniture, but as an idea—that the objects we surround ourselves with should be made with integrity and care.” She wasn’t expecting to find the centerpiece of their future home that day—but sometimes, the most meaningful connections are the ones we don’t plan.

That moment sparked a lasting relationship with the furniture and the philosophy and culture behind it. Over the years, Anne and George have worked closely with the Georgetown showroom, where the sales specialists have become trusted collaborators for the home’s interior. “They listened. They understood our ideas. They even let us try pieces at home before deciding. Who does that? That level of trust and personal care is rare in retail, and it only deepened our connection to the brand,” says Anne. “It showed us that this wasn’t just about selling furniture—it was about helping us make our space feel like ours.”

 

Their home was a deeply intentional endeavor. After searching for several years, they decided to purchase a small lot with a dilapidated cabin, tear it down, and build the home of their dreams. Working with Moore Architects, the 4,800-square-foot home sits modestly on the property,

with a detached garage, outdoor gathering space, and intimate landscape. Traditional mid-Atlantic forms are balanced with modern design elements, creating a harmonious blend of simplicity and structure to create a minimalist aesthetic that feels warm and welcoming. Large cantilevered overhangs and refined detailing add intrigue without overwhelming the senses. Every architectural decision creates a sense of continuity between the interior and the surrounding landscape. In this way, the furniture doesn’t merely complement the home—it fulfills its purpose.

“What I love about Thos. Moser:  I love the beautiful wood, the joinery, and craftsmanship in general, creating these beautiful forms.  I love the philosophy of Tom Moser the man, his family, and the people who work for them.  It’s all about doing things right—from the selection of materials to the finished product—and building relationships all along the way.”

 

Every piece holds meaning and was purposefully chosen. Before they began building the house, they owned several cherry and walnut pieces from Thos. Moser which informed their design choices. Since moving into the house, they’ve completed their furniture vision by adding considerably to their collection. Their new furniture acquisitions were based mostly on the feel of various spaces and the design of the furniture–some are more Shaker-inspired, where they selected cherry, and the more formal and European-influenced designs were made from walnut. A few custom pieces were also created in figured maple adding a special touch to classic designs that go with everything. “The furniture is not just furniture; it’s an extension of who we are and how we choose to live,” says Anne.

Investing in Thomas Moser furniture was more than acquiring beautiful pieces; for Anne and George, it represented upholding a standard of quality instilled from an early age. “My appreciation for craftsmanship comes from my mother, an avid antique collector. Growing up, I was immersed in art and design, visiting countless European museums and cathedrals. That exposure shaped my perspective, making me acutely aware of the importance of form, function, and history in design. George often jokes that my mother’s influence still haunts me, guiding my selections and ensuring I never settle for anything less than extraordinary,” says Anne. 

 

“Once you buy your first Thomas Moser piece, it becomes nearly impossible to turn back. The quality, the design, the philosophy behind each creation—it all becomes an essential part of how you experience your home,” says Anne.

 

Every room in their home is a reflection of that philosophy. The living room, grounded by rich walnut tones, offers warmth and invites conversation. The loft, once just extra space, is a sanctuary of its own, infused with the spirit of Moser’s designs, creating a space that feels both intimate and inspiring. Even the filing cabinets draw attention—not because they’re bold, but because they’re beautifully built.

“When you buy a piece of Thos. Moser furniture, you’re investing in something that, hopefully, will bring you years of service and pleasure, and that you can take pleasure in passing on to others.  What a joy it was for us, in particular, this past Christmas Day to sit at the very same Moser table and chairs that our daughter grew up with and that now grace her and her husband’s own dining room,” says Anne.

Anne and George’s home is a reflection of the choices they made. “Choosing Thomas Moser has been the most rewarding,” says Anne. The ethos of craftsmanship, integrity, and thoughtful design is something they deeply appreciate, and it’s what keeps them coming back to the furniture maker. Anne closes by saying, “These pieces are not just furniture; they are part of our lives, our history, and the legacy we will pass on. And that, to us, is the true essence of great design—when something not only fills a space but also fills the heart.”
