On a More Personal Level

When I was thirteen, my mother enlisted the help of a decorator to transform our home. Watching her at work was a pivotal moment that lit my passion for design, revealing to me that beauty can be cultivated in any space, regardless of size. She once said to me, “Lindsey, any room has the potential to become a jewel box.”

Having two busy boys of my own taught me that “precious” things have their place, antiques and vintage pieces with life in them will only become more loved over time, and there is a sweet balance between teaching your littles how to behave in the home and just living real messy life.


Today, I create beautiful and functional spaces for clients, and it’s one of the sweetest joys to see them light up as they witness their homes come together right before their eyes. These are homes where conversations happen over the dinner table, where movie nights take place in the family room, and where cocktails are served to friends on the porch—these are homes where relationships are nurtured and nourished so that they can grow and flourish.

A Look at Quality Time at Home

  • Our family loves watching superhero movies in our family room 

  • We have a thing for old British cars, so you’ll find them in pictures, you’ll see miniatures on the bookcases, and you’ll find the two we own in the garage 

  • We love spending time with family and entertaining friends when we can

  • I love having date nights and spending quality time with my husband of twenty-five years, who is also my favorite person in the whole world

  • I find joy in moments daydreaming about home updates or planning for the next

  • To create beautiful and functional spaces that are timeless and elegant; they are made to capture all of life’s moments, evoke emotion, and be a place where relationships can truly flourish. 

  • To design high-quality homes where clients want to spend quality time making memories with those they cherish and surrounded by meaningful items that have been made to last.

  • To approach design from the inside out is to gain insight into the lives of those who inhabit a space. Our designs are crafted with a deep respect for authenticity, intimacy, and meaning, recognizing the profound impact of life-affirming relationships. Each detail is carefully considered to reflect the essence of those who call the space home.

GIVING BACK

The impact of our work is enriched by our commitment to giving back. Here are some of the organizations we support through our efforts, along with the reasons why we are dedicated to their causes:

  • Young Life is a non-denominational outreach program that works with high school students, helping them learn to build authentic relationships.

  • She is Safe is a nonprofit that works to prevent, rescue, and restore women and girls from abuse, exploitation, and slavery in high-risk communities around the world.

    At the heart of our work lies the profound power of relationships—whether with one another, with those we hold dear, or with the communities in need of our collective support.
