“My priority is creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and timeless. Inspired by my European roots, I specialize in crafting interiors that feel collected, warm, and balanced. I love layering earthy materials with soft lighting, vintage accents, and textural textiles to bring a sense of harmony and lived-in comfort to every project.”

Millwork: The Secret Sauce to a Beautiful & Elevated Home
Have you ever been deep into a remodel when someone suddenly asks, “What kind of trim do you want?”
Hear From Our Clients:
Susanne was (is!) a lifesaver for us. We had been struggling with some difficult spaces in our funky old house for years and had trouble imaging or designing what we wanted. She came in and helped us design a custom entryway closet as well as window seats and we are so pleased. She is now helping use redesign a bedroom and office including builtins and wainscotting. Susanne is responsive, creative, skilled at design and computer renderings, and follows through. We are so pleased and can’t wait to see what’s next!
From Concept to Completion
01 SUBMIT AN INQUIRY
Share a bit about your home, your goals, and what you’re hoping to create. We’ll review your inquiry and schedule a brief complimentary call to ensure the project and investment feel aligned before moving forward.
02 Consultation + Proposal
Every project begins with a consultation. We’ll walk through your space, discuss priorities and investment, then provide a detailed proposal outlining scope, timeline, and next steps.
03 Design + Planning
We design in two intentional phases to create clarity before commitment.
First, Conceptual Design defines layout, direction, and budget. Then, Design Development fully refines every detail and translates the design into clear drawings and renderings so your project can be built with confidence.
