St. Petersburg

Interior designer in Downtown St. Pete

Downtown condos can start to look a lot alike. Mine don’t. I plan the space, design the built-ins and furnish every room until your home feels like nobody else’s.

A gallery wall, downtown

Art House was a plain white box in a big downtown building. The clients told me to run with it, so I did: herringbone hardwood where the tile used to be, blue painted walls, and a gallery wall of Gulf Coast artists, created with Lisa Lippincott of Soft Water Gallery.

Two units, one home

Also downtown, two condos became one 3,000-square-foot home, with a brief for sleek, almost hotel-like. Down to the structural columns we went. Then I planned every room again, and the custom cabinetry and built-ins followed.
