INTERIOR DESIGNER AND CRAFTER EXTRAORDINAIRE
Design isn’t just a job for me; it is a way of life. I am not afraid to take design risks, and I think it is important to push the limits to achieve something beautiful and surprising. I love bright, vibrant colors, and creating unique things. When I can’t find exactly the piece of art or furniture I am looking for, I find a way to make it myself, or have it made to match my vision.

When I was younger, I would beg my mom to take me to the craft store. I would wander the aisles, touching the fabrics, reams of colorful papers and baubles, and dream of the endless projects I could create. Not much has changed as I continue to dream and create for clients and my own spaces. Learn More →

A Hallway that will stop you in your tracks!
When I was designing our addition, I knew that our hallway would be a big part of the design. I wanted to have a wider, more spacious hallway so it didn't feel like an after thought. The hallway is seen from our main house and it is the main thoroughfare to the addition.I knew I wanted to do a wallpaper and Hygge and West is always my first stop. The quality of their paper is top notch and their designs are fashion forward and really make a big impact!I started with a blank slate and I knew this double hallway needed a bold pattern to balance the rest of the spaces. Look how much potential right?
The Hygge and West quill paper by Coral and Tusk was high on my list. I have been eyeing this paper for quite a while. I had even used the green version in a client's house and I fell in love with it.
I love to play with textures and patterns I knew it would be the perfect backdrop to all the pop of color that I was planning on adding to the space. Check it out, cute right?
I had been collecting a bunch of different art prints and I had envisioned doing a mixed art wall on the wallpaper. The pink lights pop off the paper so pretty too and set the stage for all the finishing touches.
One of my favorite moments in the space is this little vignette I created with this butterfly artwork and burl table. This is the first thing you see when you walk in from my garage and it always makes me so happy!
I am still working on so many projects in my addition so stay tuned for more fun stuff soon! Make sure to check out my YouTube with Rebecca Propes to see us installing all the paper.
