It’s very nice to meet you…

I'm delighted to make your acquaintance!

My story begins with my Mom, Rose. Her love of decorating inspired my passion for pretty spaces, which ultimately led to a career of curating beautiful, inviting and soulful interiors and happily teaching others to do the same. Years ago, while growing up in Westchester County, New York, I watched her eagerly transform our apartment with anticipatory excitement and sheer fearlessness. So enthralled by what was continuously happening at home, I developed an appreciation for the elemental prose of design and the poetry of place. I loved strolling through the neighborhoods of my youth, imagining interiors, and enamored by exteriors; seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. As I matured, I sensed the profound connection we all have to home, and the impact our living spaces have on our overall well being. It is my joy to help others create homes which reflect their soul and style.

I’ve been providing Georgia homeowners with interior decorating and home staging services for more than 17 years, My clients, many of whom are repeat customers, look to me for design expertise, and incredible service; I’m committed to meeting their expectations with every project, regardless of size and budget.

What I know for sure is, a home is a reflection of its inhabitants and style isn't based on wealth but authenticity. When you create a home displaying your unique personality and sense of style, it becomes an environment which tells your story, showcasing the truth of who you are while satisfying your innate human need for home as haven, sanctuary and sacred space. My clients trust me to curate spaces they’ll LOVE coming home to, and I treasure the opportunity to do it… it’s my pleasure.

Were I the protagonist of a novel, I’d be an easygoing, uncomplicated, pretty straightforward and memorable character with depth, personality and clear motivations. I'm an avid reader and my home resembles a cozy two story library; it’s my literary sanctuary! Along with good reads and pretty spaces, I adore gardening, butterflies, birdwatching, thrifting, photography, writing, hiking and traveling, all restorative and relaxing. Social justice matters to me and I love Love! I’m sustained by the love of God and joy of family. I’m happily married to my soul’s companion, Everett Cousins; we've been blessed with two amazing sons, Avery & Alex. Our dogs, Journey & Chance, are simply “pawfect”.
