Most people notice the “big” things in a renovation first.
The cabinetry color. The countertops. The wallpaper.
But the details are what make a home feel truly luxurious. The unlacquered brass that develops patina over time. The marble trim work. The drawer pull detail.
These are the kinds of details that quietly take a home from pretty to exceptional.
👋🏼 I’m Jennifer – 25 years in design, 17 years running a studio, and still obsessed with thoughtful details.

Most homeowners don’t lack inspiration — they lack a clear plan for how to make it happen in their home.
These are the questions that keep people stuck and not moving forward with their renovation goals:
😬Where do I start?
😬Who do I hire?
😬What is this realistically going to cost?
😬Am I about to make a very expensive mistake?
After 25+ years as an interior designer, I can tell you this with complete confidence:
❌The renovations that go the smoothest are not the ones with the biggest budgets.
✅They’re the ones with the clearest plans.
That’s exactly why I created my Strategy Sessions.
This is a 1:1 virtual session where we sit down together and map out your renovation before you start making major decisions.
❌Not generic advice.
❌Not AI-generated recommendations.
❌Not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
A personalized strategy built specifically around your home, your goals, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Together, we’ll get clear on:
✔️ Your project scope
✔️ Who to hire + when
✔️ Your budget + timeline
✔️ Your next best steps
And afterward, you’ll receive a personalized renovation roadmap + session recording so you can move forward with confidence.
Because renovating your home should feel exciting – not overwhelming.

Designer secret 👀
Your countertop should come *before* your backsplash and cabinet finish.
Why? Because once everything is installed together, the tones can completely shift, and what looked perfect in a sample photo might feel totally different in person.
One thing we always tell clients: don’t get too attached to one specific look before seeing the materials side by side.
