What was it that made you want to pursue a career in interior design?

For both of us, it started at a young age – drawing floor plans, wanting to rearrange our bedrooms constantly, begging to go through display homes. We always tell people when they ask this question that we believe that a “design mind” is just something you either have or you don’t. For both of us interior design is something that consumes our lives and we thrive in the environment because we are so passionate about what we do. We can both agree that there is nothing better than creating a space for a family to grow and create memories in.

Talk to us about how you use our mood board creator to design your projects.

We use Style Sourcebook religiously with our clients. It is such an amazing tool to convey an overall look and feel of a space to a client. Most clients can’t picture materials together so this is a simple way to put all of the elements together in one space so they can see the bigger picture. We will do a mood board at the beginning of a project to get approval from our client to move ahead with the design vision and then go from there.

What are your top 3 pieces of advice for someone renovating?

The 3 biggest pieces of advice we have would be:

Hire a designer – This will be the best investment you make in your renovation. You will find this saves you a lot of headache and stress. It will ensure your vision actually comes together the way you want it too. You’ll find they also have ideas that you probably would have never thought of.

Pinterest/Instagram – These are amazing tools to gather inspiration but don’t get stuck in a rabbit hole. Once you find something you like, just run with that. It’s so easy to get caught up in so many different design ideas that you just end up confusing yourself and it makes the process a lot harder than it needs to be.

Hire Quality Trades – We see this too often where people want to “save” money and hire cheaper trades. It’s like what they say, ‘you get what you pay for’ and unfortunately you will find that the mistakes that the cheaper trades make will end up costing you more in the long run.
