it all started in July of 2005…​

I convinced my then-boyfriend/now-husband that we should buy a 100-year-old bungalow in downtown Atlanta. It was a 1 story, 2 bed/2 bath home that needed some updating, but I could see its potential. I am not a DIY-er, but I had a vision, so we saved enough to hire a contractor and added a second story in 2008 which doubled the size of the house. I was involved with every step of the design process… and I loved it!

And so the renovations continued over the years – the kitchen, guest bathrooms, sunroom, adding a garage, and then re-designing the primary suite upstairs. I’m proud to say that by making smart decisions, I always stayed on budget. As time went on, friends and acquaintances began asking for my help with their renovations and redecorating projects as well. I had found my true passion, so I began to step back from my career as a dentist to focus on design.

We just sold that beautifully renovated home in June 2022. This time we bought a brand new home, but I still made several design changes before we moved in to make it feel like my own.

I look forward to helping you make your space your own too,
