Testimonials
"Our lake house master bathroom was hideous. Designed in the 1980s in shades of brown with weird angles and doors that crashed into each other when opened. It was dark with a tiny shower and giant garden tub we never used. Shelby reconfigured everything. She was so collaborative, friendly, and reliable. Now our bathroom is bright and beautiful with blue and white tiles, a freestanding tub and gigantic shower. Shelby had a white oak vanity custom made with lots of drawers. I am so impressed with her attention to details, like knowing what shower floor tiles to use so it would drain properly. She’s amazing."

"When we bought our furnished lake house, it was so dark and dreary. Shelby transformed it into a bright, inviting retreat. We have two children in their 20’s who use the house without us and our daughter has two big dogs. So, we needed durable and comfortable furnishings that were pet and party friendly. Shelby was a joy to work with. She’s confident but not pushy, kind and flexible. She offers different design package levels. We love everything about our home, from the stunning leathered kitchen countertops to the cheery yellow front door."

"My living room was a blank canvas and Shelby helped me execute my vision. We were able to transform it into a gorgeous, cozy, Palm Beach-inspired space with high-end textures and unique accents, including a tropical chandelier. She recommended a combination of patterns and prints for the furniture. I was hesitant at first, but now I love it. I especially appreciate how responsive Shelby is. She took the time to address any of my concerns and acted right away when something wasn’t right. Since she was working remotely, that really put me at ease."

"After living three years in a home we designed, we knew that we needed an interior designer to help create a finished look. We wished we had worked with Shelby right from the start. As avid world travelers, we love that our home now reflects the unique character and personality of our favorite boutique hotels. She took our collection of color and black and white travel photographs and created a breathtaking gallery of framed prints all along and up the staircase wall. Her bold lighting choices uplevel every room. Shelby is the sweetest person and is so much fun to work with. She asks great questions--like why we like a certain color—so she can help us make the right choices. She was never pushy with her design ideas and never pressured us to purchase outside of our comfort zone. Our home feels like a vacation destination and surprises and delights us and everyone who visits. It’s so beautiful that a coworker actually asked for a room photo so he could use it as his virtual Zoom background!"

"The house we moved into in Georgia had good bones but lacked color and personality. We wanted to fill it out and make it our own. I could spend all day looking at hundreds of rooms on Instagram or I could hire an expert. I chose to work with Shelby. Our guest room went from stodgy to light and airy with beautiful rattan bucket lights over the nightstands that are customized and intentional. In our sitting room, which is now a gorgeous, moody, deep blue, Shelby transformed the builder-grade fireplace with velvety textured blue tile and a whimsical white star in the corner. It’s where our family gathers to play music. Without fully renovating our bathroom, she added a stunning handmade porcelain light fixture and a custom stone vanity. Shelby is a great communicator, patient , and always readily available. She asked probing questions to understand the energy we wanted in our home. We love the cool California contemporary vibe."

"Our small, dark bungalow was built in 1915 and needed a serious upgrade. The dining room table blocked the path so Shelby came up with a custom banquette for storage with seamstress-made cushions and a farm house table and chairs. Perfect for meals and working on puzzles. By using different finishes and colors of paint on the walls and trim, it created a subtle division and made the rooms feel more spacious. She also added brighter lighting throughout. Shelby’s team of painters, carpenters , and handymen were all professional and prompt. Looking back, it’s insane the way we used to live. Shelby’s expertise was worth every penny."
