How would you describe your style?

Our designs are deeply inspired by the lush, natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. While we emphasize serene, nature-inspired elements, your personal style remains the guiding force behind every decision. Each home reflects a thoughtful blend of your vision and our expertise.

How long will my project take?

How do you charge for your services?

Our services are structured with a flat fee for the design and purchasing phases, followed by an hourly rate for support during the construction phase. The overall investment will depend on the scope of your project, and we'll work with you to tailor a plan that aligns with your needs.

Can we go shopping together?

If you enjoy being involved, we can visit showrooms together to sit-test furniture, touch materials, and see finishes up close. This collaborative experience ensures every decision reflects your preferences while making the process enjoyable and stress-free.

Will I need to purchase furnishings through you?

Yes-and you'll be glad you did! We work exclusively with trusted suppliers who offer high-quality craftsmanship and customization. By purchasing through us, you'll benefit from streamlined quality control, reduced waste, and access to unique pieces designed to last.

What is the first step to working together?

The first step is scheduling a discovery call.  It's complimentary and a great opportunity to share your project vision, learn about our process, and see if we're the right fit for one another. We'd love to connect with you!

My passion for art, nature, and creating beauty dr My passion for art, nature, and creating beauty drew me to interior design at a very young age. I continue to be fascinated by the impact good design has on our mood and overall well-being.

I believe that purposeful and intentional design can enhance the way you live—the way you experience everyday life. It has the power to impact how you connect with your loved ones, tie you to your history, and inspire you to create more meaningful moments.

I'm very grateful that I get to do what I love every day: helping others feel a sense of peace and belonging in their homes through thoughtful design.

Choosing one metal finish and sticking with it is Choosing one metal finish and sticking with it is an old rule that was made to be broken. Mixing metals can add depth and interest to a space, moving away from a "matchy-matchy" aesthetic. 

The key to mixing metals is to make sure it feels intentional and cohesive. For this project we used a combination of brushed nickel, brass and black metals, repeating them throughout the home.
