Still soaking in what a special night this was at the 2026 Main Line Parent LOVE Awards. 🧡

Getting to celebrate this recognition alongside my mom Elesa Mikhaylyants made the evening even more meaningful. As a family owned business, moments like this mean so much to us. We are incredibly grateful to all of the clients, families, friends, and supporters who continue to trust Avakian Design with their homes and projects. Your support over the years has helped our business grow into what it is today, and we never take that for granted.

Being nominated three years in a row makes this recognition even more meaningful, and we are truly honored to be included among so many incredible local businesses and this year’s winners. ✨

Today I had the pleasure of visiting Artisan Painting and witnessing exceptional craftsmanship in action, where cabinets are meticulously finished and backed by a lifetime warranty, featuring Jon Dyer in his element 💪🏼

One of my favorite parts of the process is seeing a home come together from the ground up.

Now that the major construction is complete, the architectural trim, paneling, and interior details are being installed. These elements are what truly give the home its character and elevate the overall design.

Excited to see this space continue to transform.

A cheerful powder room moment filled with color, pattern, and warmth. If you’d love help bringing personality into your space with wallpaper and custom details, we’d love to design it with you.

This project was truly a team effort — collaborating seamlessly with a fellow designer, having my amazing mom in the workroom helping us make sure every stitch, seam, and finish was perfect and with our incredible carpenter who brings every detail to life.

Standing with the restaurant owner and getting to dine there since they opened has been such a meaningful full-circle moment. The food, the atmosphere, and the energy made every part of this journey feel incredibly rewarding.
