Pick me up


This family room needed a bit of a pick me up.  This sweet family was not ready for a complete reno, but the furniture was on its last legs.  So we needed to consider their reno goals and style for the future and what they had currently, like drapes and wall unit.  Then come up with a scheme that will fit now and in the future.



I was excited to show them a scheme that had a bit of a bohemian flair, and they were on board right away!






The wall unit will be updated eventually, but for now it fits beautifully in the new scheme!


These clients are a busy professional couple with 2 young teenagers.  They trusted us with this project, and we couldn't have been happier to accept.  We look forward to helping with the reno in the future!

New look for Grapevine

I am so excited to finally launch my new website.  I have been playing with it for quite some time with the help of Nicole from Ruby and Ink.  I think it tells the story of what Grapevine is all about:  Mostly interior design, but I also dabble with my passion for entertaining.  On the website you can also read about the charities I am working with.






Since September I have done more drawing than I have ever done before.  Ive really enjoyed designing a variety of custom vanities, fireplace and tv cabinets, custom beds, floorplans and exterior finishes.




We have been sourcing like crazy.  Here are some of my favorite finishes we have chosen for a variety of clients.




And now the finishing touches...  Lighting, furniture, art and accessories!  And last of all the photographing the completed project.  I plan on spending some significant time this Spring getting pictures of all the projects we've worked on.





I am so excited to share with you my passion for this amazing place called Wagner Hills.  It all started with a lunch almost a year ago with a woman I found so inspiring.  I didn't have an agenda for this lunch, but God did.  At the woman's campus we are working on upgrading the living quarters for the ladies.  Then we are working towards a market that will give the ladies skills, a purpose and bring women together for a common goal through crafting, fellowship and mentorship.  I serious cannot wait to share more about this exciting adventure.  I will be posting updates.  You can allow follow along... #themarketatwagnerhills



And of course the New Life Gala - 2017!  What a night it was.  It was such a pleasure to plan this event with one of my best friends and the help of amazing volunteers who also have a passion for this charity.  After 2 galas we have raised over $350 000 and sponsored many many kids.  My husband and I visited the schools in Uganda that Kuwasha supports and we were beyond thrilled with everything they are doing.   You can see my blog post about our trip here.  I am committed to continue to raise awareness and funds for Kuwasha.  We are not having a gala next year, but we are giddy with excitement for what we DO have planned!  Stay tuned!
