Featured Project

So Susie Headquarters

A bright, happy home layered in florals, pattern, and soft color. Think tailored upholstery, skirted tables, cane and wicker, antique brass, and collected pieces that feel personal rather than perfect. Botanicals run throughout with printed wallpapers, embroidered pillows, garden-style flowers. Balanced by crisp millwork, sisal underfoot, and gauzy drapery that keeps everything light. The kitchen and dining open to the garden for easy indoor-outdoor living, while cozy sitting rooms invite stacking books, lighting a candle, and staying awhile. It’s classic and feminine without fuss, polished but lived-in... Special in all the right ways.

This week on Between the Layers, I’m sharing A Home That Feels Like Summer—a complimentary guide filled with simple designer-approved edits that help you bring the essence of the season into your home.

Because summer isn’t just a season. It’s a feeling.

My windows are open. Music is drifting through the air. Fresh greenery fills my favorite vase. Natural textures soften every room. Long evenings linger just a little longer.

And the best part? Creating that feeling doesn’t require a renovation or a complete redesign.

If you want to create a home that feels lighter, more intentional, and beautifully in season. comment ‘ME’ to subscribe to this week’s Between the Layers post and I’II send it straight to your inbox.

One of the biggest misconceptions about hiring a designer is that you need to be planning an entire home renovation.

Sometimes you just need someone to look at your plans, selections, and budget and tell you whether you’re heading in the right direction.

After renovating homes for over 20 years, I’ve learned that the biggest mistakes usually don’t come from choosing the “wrong” tile or cabinet color.

They come from investing in the wrong things.
Spending money where it won’t make an impact.
Overlooking details that become expensive to change later.
Or simply not having a clear plan before moving forward.

That’s exactly why we offer one-hour design consultations.

Whether you’re planning a kitchen renovation, selecting finishes for a new build, furnishing a room, or trying to determine where to invest your budget, we’ll use the time to answer your questions and help you move forward with confidence.

Sometimes one conversation can save months of second-guessing.
