Behind the Design: What It Takes to Renovate a Bathroom
The inspiration for the design really started with pink. The two girls who use this bathroom are young and I wanted to give them something that felt special and fun for this stage of their lives. At the same time, I didn't want to design a bathroom that would feel too young in just a few years.
The soft pink tile in the shower gave me a way to bring that personality into the room without taking it too far. I love that it clearly reads as pink, but it's subtle enough to live alongside the quieter finishes throughout the rest of the bathroom.
Choosing Artwork That Feels Like It Belongs.
Before I can choose the right piece, I need to know where the design is going. The layout, cabinetry, furniture, lighting, colors, and finishes all help shape the direction of the space. Once those pieces are in place, I can start looking for artwork that truly belongs.
I'm looking for the right style, the right scale, and something that complements everything else in the room.
When all of those things come together, the room doesn't just look finished.
It feels complete.
How I Bring A Renovation To Life.
I've found the best projects happen when my clients trust the process. Renovations can feel overwhelming, and there are a lot of decisions to make along the way. My job is to guide you through each one with a clear plan and an organized approach.
From space planning and custom cabinetry to materials and finishes, every decision is made with your home and the way you live in mind.
Step Into My Historic Newburgh Design Studio.
What’s surprised me most is how much I’ve loved becoming part of the Historic Newburgh community. The studio has become a place where clients stop in, friends and family visit, conversations happen, and relationships continue to grow.
And somewhere along the way, it started to feel like home for my business too.
It’s where projects start to take shape long before installation day. Where floor plans are spread across the table, materials are layered together, and decisions are worked through piece by piece until everything feels clear and connected.
What I Take from Market—and How It Shapes Your Space
I go to market as part of the work. It’s where I get into the details—materials, scale, construction—and spend time with the people behind what I’m ultimately bringing into my clients’ homes. It’s not about gathering ideas. It’s about refining decisions.
Because what I bring back from market isn’t just inspiration.
It’s clarity.
Where vision Meets Space: Kitchen Renovation
This kitchen started with a layout that simply didn’t function. It felt outdated, closed off, and disconnected from how this family actually lives day to day.
For a busy household with kids, the space wasn’t supporting movement, gathering, or even the basics of daily routines.
Why Great Interior Designers Don’t Have Just One Style
Beginning my career with the Barefoot Cottage, I worked inside of a strong classic style.
That experience gave me a deep respect for proportion, balance, and architectural integrity — but it also taught me something equally important. No single look can serve every client well.
Individuality by Design: How Being a Triplet Shaped My Creative Perspective
I was one of the triplets.
And while I love my brothers deeply, there was a part of me that longed to be recognized for who I was
— the things that made me me.
