Residential Interior Designers
Nancy listened to my needs and was enthusiastic about helping design a "mature" bedroom for my 12 year old. She found budget friendly options and incorporated the small pieces of art that we wanted to keep in the room. We are currently putting the room together can't wait to see how it looks in the end.

Nancy Ellis is a designer who listens and actually gets back to you in a timely manner. She can gently steer you in another direction without saying the purple wall you envisioned would be a disaster. However, if you are committed to that purple, wall she will work with you on it. More...

I can’t say enough about how great it is working with Nancy. She has a knack for understanding your style, your wants, and your needs. She’s honest and I like that. Her relaxed and genuine communication style makes the design work fun and stress free. She’s intuitive knowing when to interject her suggestions and when to encourage you to make the decision yourself. Working with Nancy has been a real delight. I look forward to our next project together. More...

Nancy Ellis is my go to designer. She's designed and overseen the remodel of two of my bathrooms and works magic in all my living areas whenever they need a facelift.
Whether it's as simple as picking paint colors, rearranging furniture, or finding just the right niknaks, she is THE best.

Thank you so much, Peggy - I love working with you!
What’s your interior design process?
Our process is quite simple:
1. We meet with our client (teleconference or in person) to gauge client's needs.
2. We ask questions or give client a questionnaire to understand their lifestyle.
3. We may ask client for inspiration photos or Houzz/Pinterest idea books.
3. We will acquire photos and measurements of client's space.
4. We can create a power point visual presentation of our ideas, along with relevant furniture plans if necessary.
5. We then will consult with client over phone to discuss, or meet in person whenever possible.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
We can cater to all design styles - traditional, contemporary, farmhouse, French, mid-century, and many more. A good designer should be able to source all. Nancy's personal preferences for her own home lean to clean, simple, natural and organic.
What do you love most about your job?
We love helping people feel good in their environments, and getting to use our creativity and years of experience to do it!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I actually started my own design business in 1992, after a small, boutique Renovation firm I was working with went out of business.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are thorough, experienced, creative, full of many ideas, and will get the job done in a timely fashion! We really care!
