Why hire an interior designer?

Because great design is more than choosing pretty finishes - it’s about creating a home that functions beautifully, reflects your personality, and feels cohesive from start to finish.

Clients hire an interior designer to:
•Clarify their vision and bring it to life
•Avoid costly mistakes and decision fatigue
•Create a realistic budget and stick to it
•Access trusted trades and quality resources
•Ensure every detail works together seamlessly

We advocate for you, collaborate with your architect and builder, and think through every layer - from space planning to the final styling touches. The result is a home that not only looks stunning, but truly supports the way you live.

Design is an investment in your everyday experience - and it should feel effortless.

Accessories. This last layer is where personality steps in and tells the story. Thoughtfully styled books, collected objects, sculptural pieces, textiles, greenery - these details add depth, warmth, and dimension. They soften hard edges, introduce texture, and create that effortless, lived-in feel.

Accessories aren’t about filling empty surfaces. They’re about balance, scale, and intention. A well-placed vase, a stack of meaningful books, or a piece collected from travels can transform a beautiful room into one that feels curated and complete.

It’s the difference between a house that looks designed…and a home that feels finished.

In this new construction home, my clients envisioned a space that felt stylish yet timeless - unique, sophisticated, and designed to stand the test of time. This custom kitchen delivers on every level.

With 11-foot ceilings and crisp white walls throughout, we saw the perfect opportunity to make a statement. The cabinetry, painted in Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black, creates a rich, moody foundation that anchors the space while elevating the modern design.

Quartz countertops paired with a full slab backsplash introduce subtle movement and contrast, while brass hardware softens the dark palette and adds a layer of refined warmth.

The result? A kitchen that feels dramatic yet inviting - bold, balanced, and timeless.

Design advice of the day: Start planning early.

Thinking about a renovation but unsure who to call first - the architect, builder, or interior designer? The truth is, depending on the scope of your project, you may need all three. The key is to begin the planning process early. Take time to define your goals, gather inspiration, and do your homework so you can establish a realistic budget from the start. When you come prepared with a clear vision and expectations, your design and build team can collaborate more effectively - and ultimately serve you better. A thoughtful plan is the foundation of a beautiful result.

Designing a custom home is exciting…but it’s also a balancing act. Budget, function, and style all have to work together from day one.

The secret? Being intentional.

Invest where it matters most - architectural details, cabinetry, windows, and finishes you’ll see and touch every day.

Design for how you actually live - storage that makes sense, layouts that flow, spaces that feel connected and purposeful.

Simplify strategically - sometimes restraint in one area allows for a real “wow” moment in another.

A beautiful home that doesn’t function well will never feel right. And a highly functional home without thoughtful design won’t feel special. The magic happens when all three align.

Nothing livens a room design quite like a great pattern. Florals, stripes, geometrics, textured weaves - they instantly add personality and make a room feel layered and lived-in instead of flat and “safe.”

The trick? Don’t overthink it. Mix big patterns with smaller ones. Keep a consistent color palette. Let one piece be the star and let the others support it.

A patterned sofa, statement drapery, or even a pair of bold chairs can completely change the vibe of a room. It’s all about having a little fun and trusting the process.

This butler’s pantry got the attention it deserved with a complete makeover.

We closed off the pass-through to create a more intentional, functional space, then took the cabinetry all the way to the ceiling for proper height, scale, and impact. A bold paint choice brought depth and personality, turning what was once overlooked into a true design moment.

And the finishing touch? The backsplash. Every single tile was hand-selected and installed in a clean stacked pattern, tailored perfectly to the space.

Proof that the smallest rooms can make the biggest statement.

Pinterest isn’t just a place to scroll when you’re procrastinating - it’s basically a digital mood board powerhouse for interior design and one of the ways I encourage clients to generate inspiration for their projects.

Pinterest helps you see your style before you name it. After pinning, patterns emerge, colors repeat. Materials show up again and again. Inspiration leads to intention. The purpose of using Pinterest is to spark ideas, not to design an entire room.

Design isn’t about filling every corner - it’s about intention. Edit your space thoughtfully, patiently, and with pieces that actually mean something to you. A home that feels good is always better than one that just looks finished.

Start with one shelf, one drawer, or one corner today - and tell me, what’s the first thing you’d let go of?
