Design With Intention

At Home, Heart & Soul, every project begins with a story—yours. I believe that great design is more than just beautiful rooms; it’s about creating spaces filled with meaning, personality, and connection. Whether it’s collaborating with local artists, incorporating heirlooms, or curating one-of-a-kind pieces, every detail is chosen with intention.

One transformation included a heartfelt surprise for my client’s husband—a vibrant custom painting of his boat anchored outside their favorite waterfront restaurant. This bright, joyful piece now acts as a focal point in their great room, sparking daily memories of treasured moments on the water. In a guest suite, a beautiful art piece purchased to benefit Western NC hurricane victims turns a welcoming room into a quiet reminder of the power of community.

For a local artist, we designed a living space that reflected her creativity and love story. Her original artwork and a striking custom sculpture take center stage, while a custom pillow—made from the sweater she wore on her wedding day and embroidered with her and her husband’s monogram—adds a deeply personal touch.

In another project, a sitting room was brought to life with custom local art created to harmonize the space—tying together the palette, textures, and mood for a perfectly balanced result. These are the moments when design transcends décor, becoming a reflection of the people who live there. That’s the heart of intentional design—and the magic I love bringing to every home.
