Designing Authentic Homes
We're a residential interior design studio in Waukee, IA — and every home we design reflects the people who actually live in it. Thoughtful, functional spaces shaped by real lives and individual needs. Visit our Waukee showroom to browse furniture, décor, and custom pieces in person.
Studio Sessions
Tuesday 22 September, 4:30 to 8:30. Fifteen minutes, one-on-one, at the studio.
Guests bring the room that has them stuck — an awkward layout, an empty wall, a lighting problem, a furniture decision that will not resolve — and leave with a direction.
This round is full.
Introducing
Styled at Home
Styled at Home brings the finishing touches to you. The styling itself is complimentary: you pay for the pieces, not for our time.
Meet one-on-one with a stylist in our showroom, we curate a collection for your home, then we bring it and style every detail. A reservation deposit holds your styling day and is applied toward whatever you decide to keep.
How a project runs
The same shape every time, whatever the house. Design Advisory runs a lighter version.
Reading the plan
Long before anyone picks a finish, we work through what the house has to do. How each room gets used, what has to fit in it, where everyone ends up on an ordinary Tuesday. Those answers move walls and windows while moving them still costs nothing.
Making it buildable
A design only survives construction if the right part of it reaches the right person. Selections, drawings of every wall, a finish schedule your builder and the trades can price and build from. Your designer writes every week, including the quiet weeks, so you are never guessing where things stand.
Seeing it through
We stay with the build to the end — the details that get decided on site, the things worth checking before they are covered up. Furnishing is a separate question. When we do it, we have been sizing pieces since the floor plan, so a sofa fits the wall that got built rather than the one on the drawing. When we do not, the design still stands on its own.
