With an executive-level account representative managing your project every time, you can expect to receive an outstanding level of service. We give the utmost attention to every detail and present you with solutions, not problems.
Communication
You will never have to wonder where your project stands—we provide regular, structured updates and detailed reports. We are committed to providing you with honest answers and full transparency throughout your entire project.
Independence
We are completely independent, unbeholden to any of the major FF&E manufacturers. This means we can actualize the designer’s vision without compromising on price, quality, or design.
The Key Players
Pamela J. Burgess, ASID, NCIDQ
Director of Design Services
Pamela specializes in supporting the Architectural and Design community in procurement, specification, sourcing, budgeting, value-engineering, and project management for their undertakings. As a highly regarded Interior Designer with extensive experience in both commercial and residential projects, Pamela takes her understanding of the Designer's vision and her extensive product knowledge to bring their projects in line with their client’s budgetary expectations. The result is an affordable approach which maintains the Designer’s aesthetic at a price that satisfies the client and their investors.
On her time away from the office, Pam enjoys gardening, sailing, and just about any time spent on the ocean, be it a far off tropical location or nearby her Kennebunk home. The loves of her life are her three fabulous children, not to mention their goofy yellow lab, Andie.

Aidan J. Barry

Aidan founded Executive Furnishings, Inc. in 1988 with a vision of fulfilling a great market need: that of a boutique dealership dedicated to supporting the vision of Architects and Designers as they develop interior spaces for healthcare, hospitality, and business clients. Over 30 successful years that vision has been honed and nurtured to cultivate a company that is independent of manufacturer's influence yet provides the most desirable interiors on a nationwide basis.

Carolyn Butler
Office Manager
Carolyn manages the operational processes on a daily basis. Once projects have been specified she coordinates the ordering, vendor acknowledgments and expediting of all items by communicating directly with product vendors. She follows all projects beginning with order entry, shipment tracking to warehouse delivery and product inspection. This assures a timely and efficient installation, so that the Project Managers can anticipate all eventualities and fulfill the Designer's vision and client's expectations. Carolyn's extensive business experience makes her the reliable hub around which the office operates.
In her spare time Carolyn enjoys her small farm with her husband, their horse named Fox, two dogs, many cats, and multiple chickens and ducks. Living in beautiful NH they enjoy kayaking, trail riding, and visiting the stunning NH sights.

Yoshi the Beagle
HR Facilitator
HR is our watchdog unit, and helping is our pet project. Yoshi inspires those having a ruff time with his husky tones, wiggles and doggy kisses. He always looks quite fetching and is never dogmatic but gives good pointers. He noses out if someone feels hounded, is melancollie, or is barking up the wrong tree. He helps to vet their feelings, so when problems arise he encourages them to whippet and puts the wag back in their tail. Staff feels they have a new leash on life. His dogged support gives reason to paws and is nothing to be sniffed at. With Yoshi, everything is pawssible.
Favorite software: Yelp
Favorite joke: Why did the cowboy buy a dachshund? Because he was advised to “Get along little doggie.”
Giving Back
Executive Furnishing’s founder Aidan Barry and his wife Midori were blessed with the opportunity to adopt a child from Ethiopia.
The amazing experience opened their eyes to a greater need within the country: women and orphaned children living as outcasts in a society that had abandoned them, leaving them vulnerable and hopeless. Feeling a sense of personal responsibility to help those less fortunate, the Barry family entrenched themselves into the Selamta Family Project, an organization that creates families and provides them with the support they need to once again become part of the greater community.
