We specialize in curating home furnishings, including custom furniture, unique accents, vintage pieces, bedding, lighting, tabletop items, and gifts, all selected with Kate's distinct design aesthetic. Our team of dedicated professionals offers both retail expertise and interior design services, serving clients across the US with projects ranging from entire home remodels to individual room enhancements.Over our 18+ years in operation, we've cultivated relationships with over 350 product lines, including Lee Industries and Visual Comfort, while emphasizing organic neutrals and refined details in every space we create.
