I’m grateful to be featured in the Sewickley Herald in honor of International Women’s Day.

The article highlights my journey leading to the founding of my business, Montague Design, as well as my passion for the Inspired Women Paying It Forward Sewickley Chapter.

Throughout my career in interior design, I’ve learned that great design—much like strong communities—begins with listening, empathy, and collaboration. I’m grateful to have an outlet for my creative side by designing meaningful spaces for clients, while also being part of a group of women who come together to create real impact through collective giving.

Thank you to the Sewickley Herald for sharing this story and to the incredible women in our chapter who continue to make a difference.

If you’re interested in learning more about Inspired Women Sewickley or joining us, I’d love to connect.

From desk placement to personal touches, every element in this space helps create focus, prosperity, and positive energy.

Because the right space doesn’t just look beautiful, it supports the life and work happening inside it.

For years, this great room held a mix of older and inherited pieces that didn’t fully reflect our clients’ personalities. It was time for a change.

They love color and pattern — especially rich cranberry tones and layered greens — so we leaned all the way in. We designed the space around a beloved art piece and built from there, layering in a custom rug, thoughtfully designed custom furniture, and high-end fabrics to create warmth, energy, and cohesion.

Every piece was sized specifically for the room. Cream upholstery creates a calm foundation, while wood end tables, a horsehair console, organic florals, and greenery add texture and life year-round.

Now the space feels vibrant, personal, and perfectly suited to their lifestyle.

We recently helped our longtime clients refresh their great room to reflect their personalities and design a space that suited their lifestyle.

We're having a lot of fun working with our clients on home remodel including an addition. A visit to Splash Kitchen Bath Home was the perfect place to select finishes for several key spaces including the kitchen, mud room, primary bathroom, powder room and laundry room.

Every detail matters. From plumbing fixtures to tile selections, we thoughtfully curate materials that reflect our client’s lifestyle while ensuring cohesion throughout the home.

Whether you’re planning a full-scale renovation or looking for expert design consultation, we are here for you.

Stay tuned as these selections come together in a beautifully transformed home.

A beautiful home is the result of a thousand thoughtful decisions.
Selecting finishes like paint, stone, and cabinetry is one of the most exciting phases, but it’s about more than what looks good on a sample board. It’s about envisioning how those layers will live together in your space.
As designers, our job goes beyond sourcing materials. We're here to build your confidence and ensure every choice feels aligned before moving forward.

We recently helped our longtime clients refresh their great room to reflect their personalities and design a space that suited their lifestyle.

For years, the space was filled with a mix of older and inherited pieces that didn’t fully reflect them. They love color and pattern and were especially drawn to rich cranberry tones and layered greens, so we leaned all the way in.

We designed the room around a beloved art piece, then built the space from there, layering in a custom rug, thoughtfully designed custom furniture, and accessories in high-end fabrics to bring warmth, energy, and personality. Every furniture piece is sized specifically for the room, and we went through the balance of all fabric and trim selections together to ensure everything felt cohesive.

The finished space works well with a foundation of solid cream upholstery, while the accessories bring in the happy pops of color. Wood end tables ground the space, a horsehair console adds texture, and stools are positioned for easy views of both the TV and kitchen. Matching lamps keep things from feeling too busy, organic florals add softness, and greenery brings life year-round.

The mantel is still getting its finishing touches—more to come, including professional photographs.

With winter in full swing, this feels like the perfect time to add warmth and new life to your home. Ready to refresh your space? We offer full-service design, in-home consultations, and virtual services to fit your needs.

The new Restoration Hardware on Walnut St. in Shadyside is so chic! Its cozy glamour, flooded with light & warmth. The four floors of well-curated spaces feel both grand and grounding in a comforting way.
What we love about this showroom is that it confirms that cool greys are a thing of the past. The space is filled with rich, earthy tones. Furniture is oversized and sculptural, with rounded corners and beds that feel soft & inviting. And there’s an ode to history with Greek-antiquity-inspired sculptures anchoring the spaces. All of this offers a coziness in uncertain times.

Restrooms are often the most overlooked part of a workplace, but thoughtful design can turn them into spaces that inspire comfort and calm rather than feeling purely utilitarian. When clients struggle to imagine what a small or overlooked area could become, designers help bring that potential to life.

For this women’s restroom, we added greenery for a natural touch and selected decorative mirrors to bring personality and character into the space. A teal green partition and countertop introduce energy and pizzazz, while thoughtful details keep the room feeling fresh rather than sterile. Together, these elements create a stylish, functional bathroom that feels a little unexpected and shows what even overlooked spaces can achieve.

If you are planning a home renovation or new construction in 2026, taking a few proactive steps can help you prepare, making the process smoother and less stressful.

1. Define the scope clearly: Outline your goals, priorities, and must-haves before design begins. (We have guides to help you with this)

2. Establish your budget: Use online resources to gain a general understanding of costs for new construction and remodeling, and set realistic expectations early. (Or send us a message & we can help guide)

3. Build your team early: Hire your architect, designer, and contractor as soon as possible. (Or work with us we will assemble your team.)

4. Design before you build: Take the time to finalize the design and select key elements, such as plumbing fixtures and tile, before construction begins. Staying ahead of the contractor helps avoid costly delays. (This is where our visuals & expertise really makes a difference in avoiding costly mistakes)

5. Trust the process: A strong team will guide you every step of the way, allowing you to stay focused on your life while your project comes together seamlessly.

We would be delighted to guide you - please reach out with any questions!

The new Restoration Hardware on Walnut St. in Shadyside is pure cozy glamour, flooded with light & warmth.
It’s 4 floors of well curated rooms that feel both grand and grounding in a comforting way. And the playlist is a part of the vibes (so we kept the store jams in the video)
