Be refreshed without going on vacation, enduring a messy renovation, or making an expensive move.

“But how?!”

“I’ve already tried to make decorating changes, and nothing has worked.”

“When I get back from vacation, my own house always feels meh!”

“Other rooms might have potential, but not this one. I’m stuck.”

“This place is impossible! I think moving might be the only solution.”

Retreat right where you are with a Stillwater House make-over in the room of your choice.

Make Room to Retreat

What if stepping into your living room felt like arriving at a private retreat? What if you could eliminate years of trial and error and create a space you love in a matter of months? Wouldn’t it be amazing if that could be your reality without booking a vacation, enduring a messy renovation, or making an expensive move?

I’m here to help you transform your room into a retreat. Here’s how:

Month 1: The Details Workshop. We'll meet in the room you’ve selected, and we’ll talk through your concerns and discuss my solutions, including paint color, layout, and vibe. I’ll take notes and measure every square inch so the results don't just fit your style - they fit in your room like they were always meant to be.

For the weeks that follow, we’ll have scheduled communication as I workshop all of the information I’ve gathered for your space and determine alongside of you the best direction to go and the ideal products to choose!

Month 2: Daytrip with a Designer. We’ll head to some of my favorite home retailers together, where you can touch and feel (and sit on!) the pieces that I recommend. I'll be by your side the whole way to decide on the furniture, accessories, rugs, and decor for your unique space. You’ll pick up on my insider advice and pro tips so that you can confidently make each purchase. During our daytrip, I’ll share access to my professional trade discounts that give you around 20% off of everything in the store, so that you’ll not only save yourself from buyer’s remorse, you’ll save yourself up to thousands of dollars.

Included partnerships:

  • Crate & Barrel

  • cb2

  • Pottery Barn

  • Williams Sonoma

  • West Elm

  • Rejuvenation

  • Restoration Hardware

  • Sherwin Williams

  • Ernesta

We can also top off our day at retailers such as Homegoods, Target, etc, because who doesn’t love a good Target run?! And this time, you’ll know exactly what to put in the cart. If antique stores are more your style, we will visit the best ones around! Following our daytrip, leave it to me, and I’ll be working to select any remaining pieces to bring your room together.

This process isn’t just about adding a bunch of new items. Found a deal at an estate sale that you think might work in your dining room? Let’s talk! Discovered grandma’s painting in the attic and wonder about hanging it in your living room? Let me know! Want to tackle a DIY project? I have some suggestions! Over the course of month 2, we will have regular weekly appointments for check-ins on progress.

Month 3-6: Gather & Reveal. Once all of the elements that you’ve purchased are in one place, I'll unpack and arrange everything so that you can relax in your very own retreat, right in your own home.

Make Room to Retreat design fee is $9,500, guaranteed through 2025. Get in touch below!
