“It was important to me that our new home felt cozy and nurturing for my whole family, and especially for my kids, who were moving away from their old friends and schools. You helped during our busy transition to create a space that was warm, comforting, and joyful and that also honored my style and love for color. Thank you!”

Invaluable Advice
Your advice on the interior design plans for my new house was invaluable! The choices we’d been making were creating a home that was so cold I felt like I wouldn’t even want to live there! You suggested a variety of ideas — rounded corners, matte surfaces, ceramic rather than marble — that transformed it into a warm and welcoming place to live. Thank you!

Working with What I Already Own
Raina’s grounded presence made me feel at ease during our online consultation. She made specific recommendations for focal points, artwork and furniture placement, and organization which brought more storage, light, and spaciousness to my home. I loved that Raina was able to create balance, beauty, and improve the flow, and all by working with what I already own.

Renovation Clarity
It was so helpful to consult with you about my kitchen renovation. Before we met, I was overwhelmed by all the possibilities and wasn’t sure what direction to take. You helped me to slow down and bring my attention to how I want to FEEL in my home. Your insights about what would be best for the space and my family helped me move ahead with confidence and clarity.

Raina listened deeply to my intentions for my new home, especially my desire for stability, support, and warmth.

Beyond How Things Look
By thoughtfully repositioning furniture, helping us clear out things we no longer needed, and helping us choose wall colors and some new items, Raina created a better sense of balance, flow, and harmony throughout our home. The difference goes beyond how everything looks—our entire house feels lighter, calmer, warmer, and more inviting. Raina has a real gift and I couldn’t recommend her more!
