Welcome to refresh design: the blog! I hope to provide you with a bit of a different perspective on the world of interior design. Most of you probably have a few things that come to mind when thinking of the interior design industry, or about interior designers themselves… well, I hope to give you something a little different than you expect. Some things about me:

  • I don’t always believe that the most expensive option is the best option
  • I do believe there is a difference between an “inexpensive” product and a “cheap” product
  • I am not afraid of color
  • My own home is currently under renovation, and while it’s getting there, it isn’t “fabulous” yet
  • I work within a budget for my own home improvements
  • I love being creative with materials, finishes and color
  • But I won’t staple moss, faux flowers or any other material to your wall (for those of you unaware, this is a reference to the designers on TLC’s Trading Spaces who actually did this…)
  • I believe that home is not a static place- it is constantly changing, just like the people who live there.

And that’s what my design philosophy is all about- the people.
