We love Pinterest and we love Instagram. We save beautiful kitchens at 11pm and feel convinced that the secret to having our life together might just be a warmer white paint color and a very expensive looking coffee table. There is absolutely nothing wrong with gathering inspiration online. You’ll find, most interior designers use Pinterest […]

Hiring an interior designer is exciting! It usually means something is changing.. a renovation, a move, a fresh start, or finally creating a home that feels the way you’ve always wanted it to.
