We’re in business baby! Instead of embarking on another move and massive renovation project for ourselves, we’ve started a business that puts our Interior Design passion and talents to work for YOU! In fact it completely reimagines the Interior Design experience!
Our Story
When we first began buying and renovating houses, I didn’t know what was propelling me forward. All I knew was that I was OBSESSED with houses, swore to everyone that my home would be in a magazine, and that I had to learn every aspect of overhauling a home and understand the process inside and out.
Together my husband Matt and I have radically renovated 5 different homes. Throughout these projects, we have learned so much and have experienced all of the amazing highs and terrible lows that come with construction projects.
Our strengths lay in having the vision to design something stunning, sourcing the materials and finishes needed to create the vision, managing the crazy number of details to realize that vision, and all on a normal sized budget. For the first time ever, we are offering our talents, experience, and perspective for hire.
What Do I Mean by “We”?
I think the most exciting part about this business for me and for our clients is that my husband Matt and I are doing it TOGETHER!
If you know Matt, then you’ll know that he is infamous for organization, tracking, filing, spreadsheets, and just straight up getting things done!!! To have him as part of this business is the perfect match, so I can concentrate solely on supporting you and your design.
Accolades
Fast forward to the present… our home is in Better Homes and Gardens magazine, we’ve filmed an HGTV show pitch and I have been named a Better Homes and Gardens Stylemaker two years in a row! (I’ll be heading to New York again next week to meet with the biggest names in decor blogging and talk about everything that is new and now at the Stylemaker event!)
Even further, our renovations have landed us on the news multiple times and in major newspapers. We’ve also graced the Instagram feeds of some of the biggest interior design accounts in North America countless times…like ummm Becki Owens!! Have a look at our recent press!
Interior Design Services Reimagined
Our service is really simple. We are going to be your Interior Design Best Friend. There is no pre existing job title for what we’re willing to do. We are willing to support you and share everything we know about construction projects, from creating stunning designs all the way through to scouring the planet for the perfect materials with you. We want to support you every step of the way. That’s it.
Instead of YOU becoming completely obsessed and losing sleep over your project, WE are going to lose sleep over your decisions, so you don’t have to. Together, we’ll tackle your project from collecting the very first inspo images to fluffing the final throw pillows at the very end, and everything in between. Whether you’re working with a contractor on a transformative renovation or a cutom builder on your dream home, we’ll guide your design process, explore every possibility with you, from layout to materials, and help you clearly communicate those ideas to the people that will make them happen.
They say that everyone has a superpower, right?! Well, ours is maximizing a home’s potential and obsessively seeing that potential through to execution.
Our First Major Interior Design Projects are Underway!!
Unbelievably, when I first shared the news with family and friends that we were going to start this business, through word of mouth, we immediately got not one, but TWO huge clients! We’ve already started working on their homes and the experience has been incredible.
Custom New Build
The first home we’re working on is a dreamy custom new build and the perfect chance to share with you how our services are being used to save our clients time, stress, and money, every step of the way, while ensuring their #housegoals are fully realized.
Dream Home Renovation
The second home we’re working on is a massive renovation on the water, the perfect project to show you how we can overhaul an existing home.

Mary T says
Leslie, I can’t tell you how happy and excited I am for you and your husband. In all of the years I have been following renovation shows on TV and reading design magazines, very few homes compare to the lovely work you both do. I always thought our region here had the best decorators and I was right. Congratulations to you both and to the lucky homeowners who have handed their homes over to you. The outcome will be fabulous.
leslie says

I hope University is a blast…please promise me not to stress to hard ok? (Who am I kidding…you don’t get a full ride scholarship and conquer the world without stressing…just so impressed with you!) Question, do you know how to shoot and edit short videos? sounds random but I’m going somewhere with this I promise! lol!
