The Kirk Home
So this is the first of 2 projects I’m super proud of completing in this home. I’m calling it “The Biggest Kitchen Ever!” No seriously. This bad boy was HUGE and gorgeous! We’re talking alllll the heart eyes for all those big beautiful cabinets! My clients had 42-inch uppers, an island, PLUS a bank of cabinets on the wall parallel to the island. Fifty door and drawer fronts in all. Cabinets 👏🏾 For 👏🏾 Dayyyyyys. Buckle up buttercup, we’re diving right in!
Keatha B’s Kitchen
Sometimes it’s about working with what you’ve got. It’s not your forever home so you don’t want to sink a lot of money into aesthetics. I get it! But a little can go a long way when you work with what you’ve got and this kitchen proves it!
Becky J’s Kitchen
Client referrals are the BEST! And how I’ve gotten most of my business thus far. In fact, if I remember correctly it’s how I met Becky. We have a mutual friend, Nurse Tara, for whom I had done some CAD work for her small addition. One day Nurse brought her into the EPIC Center where I was working at the time, to show her around because she was interested in volunteering.

Miss Deborah’s Kitchen
This kitchen was a real beauty and its loving owner is a beauty as well —inside and out 🤗. Check her out and her cute comfortable style! Oh, the difference a little paint can make. Love you, Miss Deborah!
The Pullins Kitchen
“Yep, that’s the look, sissy!” My second client since starting my studio said at her idea board reveal meeting, which made me feel like I did when seeing that bold A+ on a midterm design assignment back in college. She is one of my dearest friends and indeed like a big sister. I was so eager to do her project…
Small House Charm
Soooo, New Bern, North Carolina is not the kind of town I envisioned myself settling into. I’m a city girl! My favorite being our nation’s capital, Washington DC; BUT ☝🏾, we all know how events in one’s life and or the God of the Bible can lead you into…
Design Vocab
I say it takes a good designer to turn these words: Form, Shape, Color, Texture, Light, Proportion, Scale, Balance, Harmony, Unity & Variety, Rhythm, and Emphasis—also known as the elements of design into a home!
Meet… The Little House
Well, not as she is but as she will be! Just wait until she’s all redone!!! She’s only about 575 square feet!!! If you haven’t already surmised how much I looove small spaces… let me take a brief moment to state for alllll the records that I absolutely do!
