Finishing Touches | Spring Lake, NJ | 732-449-8686

Maureen Skea has always been a fashionista at heart.

She began her career as a clothing buyer. “I traveled throughout Europe and Asia exploring couture clothing lines that we could transform into more reasonably priced, quality products.”

Though she enjoyed her work, Maureen always had a singular goal in mind. “I raised my children with the expectation that, once they were older, I would establish my own interior design business and retail store and name it ‘Finishing Touches.’” In the early years, Maureen ran the business out of her home—designing and fabricating window treatments for clients who heard about her through word of mouth. Eventually, she opened a brick-and- mortar store at 1313 3rd Avenue in Spring Lake.

“One of the most enjoyable aspects of my business is carefully curating fabrics, furnishings and artwork to complement my clients’ tastes”
