Design For Living
A thoughtfully designed home feels comfortable from the moment you enter it. We help create a warm and welcoming oasis where family and friends feel cherished. We don't have a 'look' - we have a mission: to design your home so that it is joyful, honest, and fearless.
Our design process begins with understanding you. We develop layouts, render elevations, select custom furnishings and treatments, and divine the perfect palette. Once you agree to the design concept, we oversee every step to make sure your project comes together seamlessly. Read about our design process here.

Taking cues from Neo-Colonial architecture, this sunny, 1950s home has graceful details and comfortable, nicely arranged rooms. I approached with a light touch, choosing generally airy colors for the walls. (To see the stunningly moody gaming den, you’ll have to wait for an autumn reveal.)

A lifetime of putting her own talent for design to work had created a striking and sophisticated collection, but my client sought my help to edit, expand, and interpret for an open floor plan with riches of natural light. The floor plan was a sticking point as well as a color palette from the previous owner that left her cold…
As with our design for Nest 801 in Winchester, at this historic Clarke County home, filled with antiques and personal history, we used a light touch to brighten and warm up rooms that our clients wanted to update…
A home base for family events, this modern country home is filled with love, sunshine, and many happy plants. The sectional provides ample seating for family and guests, and is covered in a Revolution performance fabric. Thoughtful design details throughout make this room one that invites you to pick a sunny spot and stay a while.
The design for the living and dining rooms of this contemporary home draws inspiration from the peaceful, riverside meadow where the house is situated. My contribution to this renovation included a study of the layout, as well as selections of new fabrics, furnishings and lighting, but it is my concept for the mantel that most profoundly altered the spaces. The new mantel compliments the warm wood of the vaulted ceiling while refining the architectural identity of the entire home.
