Our Process


After touring the property and assessing the existing pieces, I focused on a strategic blend of new and sourced items. I created a detailed shopping list from Amazon and IKEA for the more cost-effective, foundational furniture.

I then turned our attention to local sourcing to find unique, smaller items that would add character. A large wooden table was chosen to comfortably seat big families. In the black and white kitchen, I infused life with pops of color—from vibrant wall decor to playful coffee cups and glassware. I also added warmth and texture with woven baskets and wooden cutting boards.

The murals painted throughout the living space and bedrooms were a key feature, so I selected bold blankets, pillows, and curtains to complement the artwork and complete the playful, cohesive look.

Bright kitchen with white cabinets, black backsplash, stainless steel oven, and a black island with barstools. Large window with outdoor greenery, hardwood floors, and modern lighting fixtures.

Her expertise made the entire process so easy. She knew exactly what was needed, sourced every detail with care, and handled all the setup seamlessly. The end result exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with both the service and the stunning space she created!"
