Our Style

Layers flow together in harmony,
speaking to you.
Every - single - element
highlights the existence of another. 

Our vision is to curate spaces with elements that belong together, representing your life
& story.  This isn't about 'matchy matching' (unless that's our goal & we create a fabulous matching pattern design, but I digress).

We create spaces to be brilliant,
meaningful & practical!

Our Story

Hi there! Leslie McWilliams here, Owner - Lead designer - textile obsessed, former navy brat, mother of 4, & wife to brilliant project manager of custom builds.  

I grew up all over the East Coast with a brief idyllic year in the wilds of Washington State. I learned home isn't about a fixed address.  It's about transforming each new house into a home reflecting our stories, travels & shared experiences. 

This nomadic upbringing taught me the power of intentional spaces & how they can comfort, inspire & nurture us.

For over 2 decades, I joyfully brought couples' wedding day visions to life as a wedding & floral designer.  Each celebration was created to tell the story of my couple.

When not working with my brilliant interior design clients, you'd likely find me at the beach with the 'fam' or exploring my favorite candy shop, bookstores & boutiques. Or my lifelong favorite pastime, reading in a comfy chair.


We Believe

Your home should reflect your unique personality, not just follow trends.

Functionality & aesthetics can & should
coexist harmoniously.

The spaces you inhabit should support your goals & inspire your pursuits.

BEHIND
the Designs

I'm Leslie — the artist who can't paint, British Bake off binger, jewelry designer - mad hatter of ribbon trim- who believes cake is breakfast & textiles are life's magic pixie dust!

With the keen vision of an art director, I work alongside my clients to curate seamlessly editorial designs.

Brimming with elements my clients connect with through colors, textures & layouts.  Bringing harmony into their spaces. 

Creating functionality that makes you wonder how you EVER 'did life' before the redesign.

“The redesign completely changed the look of the room!  Thanks Leslie! After nine years, we finally love this space”
