The Faces Behind Our Brand
Our paths to design & retail weren't exactly traditional. Megan actually has a degree in Speech Pathology, but she spent years moonlighting as a decorator for friends, family, and neighbors in addition to working full time. Megan has a natural eye for unique designs that stems from a love for decorating and hosting. Abby holds an Industrial Engineering degree and an MBA, and she spent the last 10 years running a successful local insurance restoration company. We don't get hung up on "formal" design rules. Instead, we lean into what we love: Transitional Style. For us, that means mixing the clean, fresh feel of modern design with the soul and character of antique finds.
In August 2024, we took a big leap and opened our retail storefront. That’s also when we added Kimberlin Vickers to the crew. Between her incredible photographer’s eye and her genuine heart for people, she’s become a key ingredient of our daily operations.
Why We Do It
Since opening our doors, we’ve been so lucky to work on both homes and businesses throughout the community. But at the end of the day, our mission is pretty simple: we want to create spaces that foster connection. We believe a home should feel like home. We design spaces that invite you to kick off your shoes, relax, and stay a while.
Design Services
Design Consultation by the Hour
Our hourly service is priced at $150 with a $1,500 minimum, knowing that even the smallest projects require a full ten full hours of focused support.
Full-Service Design
For bigger transformations, our full‑service design can be quoted as a single set price. This requires a minimum budget of $100,000 on renovations and $500,000 on new builds. A licensed contractor is required on all full-service design projects along with a detailed set of plans. If you do not have a contractor or architect, we can make recommendations for you. This is available both in person and virtually.
Event Styling
Planning your perfect party? or big day? Hire our team to set up your home or event space with uniquely styled lounge spaces, tablescapes and more designed for connection with those most important to you. This is quoted on a per event basis and requires a minimum of a $1500 budget.
Custom Home Building
We build custom homes for a one-on-one building experience. Our focus is on unique projects that align with our design taste and expertise. We tailor the experience to the customer to make the building process what we feel that it should be - fun & exciting - doing as much of the leg work as possible to minimize stress for the homeowner. This is accomplished through detailed planning prior to the build starting. Due to our commitment to quality, our schedule is booked Spring 2027. Contact us to explore your custom home needs and receive referrals for reputable builders in our area.
