Interior design services to help people create stylish, comfortable homes that tell their personal stories

Quite possibly the best, most generous description ever of what I aim to do every day.🥹💓

08/15/2026

Looking back on a short, sweet summer in which we’ve all aged a bit, from our 13-year-old first baby full of lumps and love to our human baby who started kindergarten this week. I felt pulled to work and play and create and consume all at the same time, and I always move into August yearning for more time.

Construction on my Raleigh project was delayed because of a contractor health scare, which always puts life into perspective. Demo starts there on Monday with a new GC, and demo starts next month for my cottage project in Winston-Salem. I also kicked off a new large-scale project in Durham yesterday.

So I’m still here but filling my days offline with beautiful people and houses we’re thoughtfully turning into homes (including my own, slowly, painfully at times). Just generally feeling full of gratitude for good health and a job I love.

New rug in our snug, which is our old kitchen turned cozy tv nook. This space is very slowly coming together and we all love it so much.🤎

Bought this painting by my pal Ellie Snow for a future client but maybe it should live in our upstairs hallway because look at those colors together?!

Celebrating our beloved Buster’s 2nd birthday, who - in true cat fashion - meant he couldn’t have cared less about our efforts or tasting the custom cake the girls made me buy for him. Cats!😹

Backyard blooms for a client meeting. That giant yellow dahlia got me!

Design consultation at the most charming historic cottage yesterday. Sure don’t make them like we used to😭

This art by Noah Saterstrom in the client’s house stopped me in my tracks. Nothing better than a house with great art!

Another piece of great art painted generations ago of my client’s mother. I know it will spark inspiration as I design this home.

The neediest long-term boyfriend I’ve ever had who follows me all day long and waits by the door until I’m home. 💕

Rare finds. Real craftsmanship. Rooms that can’t be copied or generated.❤️

Because there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a problem solved beautifully.

Here’s a before and after of the closet we carved out of an awkward hallway corner packed with outgrown furniture and forgotten drawings (swipe right). This gave each twin her own closet in the bedroom, and a new fringed curtain and vanity set made the vibes fancy.

Moving the beds to the middle wall of the room freed up the opposite corner for the other twin, who now has a new dresser chic enough to keep beyond college and a dedicated spot to display a framed photo of her great-great-grandfather’s baseball team.

Same square footage, entirely new POVs.

These two trained me.

Not in the traditional way, but in the years of sleepless nights, toddler negotiations, learning to hold my ground while also knowing when to bend.

Last week I sat in a meeting with several men who clearly prefer to keep things familiar and uninspired. “I’ve never known a designer who does that,” one grumbled about a simple lighting request. Well I guess you don’t me, sir. The old me would have questioned that choice. Possibly stayed small in the moment. Not this me.

That confidence around construction didn’t come from nowhere. It grew over time at home — working through projects with my husband, slowly building the vocabulary and the feel for when to push back and how. In a world that still has what feels like the longest way to go towards giving women the respect we deserve, I’m convinced even the smallest conversations can shift perspectives.

Being a mother first didn’t slow me down in business. It made me better at it. To every mom building something — the skills you think are just parenting are in fact the richest education.

Mischief, managed📝🐉

Designing this secret study/play space for a pair of 9-year-old potterheads brought out my inner wizard. A hidden entrance, castle-inspired desks, and enchanting wallpaper gifted by the muggles at make homework just a bit more magical.✨

I designed this custom bookshelf wall in the Fantasy Twins Suite to work hard—hold a lot of twin-sized stuff, offer cord cut-outs for electronics, make space for a cozy window seat (obviously) and hardest of all: hide a secret door to their playroom.

This slideshow shows how the process takes daily decision making and problem solving to get it right along the way—which is exactly why you hire a designer (saving you time *and* money! ).

Shout-out to for cleverly figuring out how to conceal the door reveal (grooves along the trim throughout the shelves make it look intentional). As for how to open the door? Well that takes a bit of magic…🧙🏻‍♀️🪄

The Fantasy Twins Suite, revealed ✨

What started as two awkward, disconnected rooms is now one dreamy space designed for two very different growing girls.

Proof that good design isn’t just about making things pretty—it’s about making space for everyone to feel at home.💞
