Timeless Design
for real families living real lives
You’ll never have to say, “This is why we can’t have nice things” again.
Does this sound familiar?
Are you hiding from your kids in the bathroom while reading this on your phone right now?
Is the chaos on the other side of the door too much to handle?
Does it feel like your children and fur children have taken over your home?
Are you starting to wonder if I’m spying on you because this is all entirely too accurate?
I understand because
I’ve been there
I’ve been the one cleaning up the grape jelly smeared across my white walls, whispering under my breath, “This is why we can’t have nice things.”
Too many times to count.
You live a busy life. Your children have more energy than energy itself, and if you’re like the clients I work with, you probably feel like half your life is spent bringing them to sports games and the other half is spent washing smelly soccer jerseys and socks.
I’m here to reassure you that you CAN have nice things. You can have a home that’s cozy, welcoming, and provides you with a refuge from the outside world and chaos of the day-to-day.
You don’t need to wait for your kids to leave the nest and fly the roost, either!
Timeless design for real families living real lives
I’m probably the only interior designer in New Hampshire who can be caught watching The Real Housewives as an example of
what NOT to do in your home.
Well-thought, timeless design isn’t about opulence and way-too-expensive vases in your entryway. Your home should provide functionality, an increased sense of ease, and welcome you in at the end of a long day. You don’t need to choose between beauty and function.
Ready to design a real space that lives and breathes alongside your real family, no matter their ages and stages?
You’re in the right place if…
- You’re a tired, overworked mom who wants a cozy, clean, and welcoming home… AND you also know your children don’t always listen when you ask them to stop using your living room as a personal wrestling ring.
- You’re a tad overcommitted, overwhelmed, and can’t even really wrap your head around what stunning timeless design might look like in your home! If you have to make one more decision, you might explode.
- You want to invest in nicer furniture and a fresh coat of paint but you’re afraid your kids (both human and four-legged) will destroy it in a matter of seconds.
- You enjoy watching HGTV for inspiration, but you don’t feel you have the creativity or energy to do any of this yourself.
- You love entertaining friends and family but are embarrassed about your mish-mosh of pieces from previous homes and hand-me-downs.
I’ve walked in your shoes
I’ve had the end tables I salvaged from my first apartment as my living room centerpiece and wondered what on earth I was still doing with it 15 years later.
I’ve been so embroiled in my kiddo’s extracurricular activities that I haven’t put time and effort into making our family house a home.
And I know the impact and transformation a home designed with function, beauty, and your day-to-day life in mind can provide.
When you have a home that allows you to spend quality time with your family and a space of your own to curl up with your morning coffee, (on a sofa that you don’t have to cover in plastic to protect it) you feel at peace. You can look around and say, “Ahhh…. This is what it’s like to have nice things.”
A space designed just for your family will give you a sense of ease, calm, comfort.
Because real life is chaotic enough.
Meet the designer
Hi! I’m Angela Hall
I’m the laidback, approachable and fun Interior Designer who’s been in your shoes.
- My son has destroyed our dining room table with his arts and craft creations.
- My dog has worn holes in our sofa because she pounced on it one too many times with excitement upon our arrival home.
- I could’ve counted on one hand how many times I’d had company over because I didn’t want guests to see how “not put together” my home was.
- Coasters were a foreign concept to my family and I had the rings on my coffee table to prove it.
- And don’t even get me started on the stains…
Since then, I’ve realized the importance of selecting pieces for my home that not only reflect me and my family, but can also stand up to the wear and tear that comes from a real family, living real life.
I’ve experienced first hand the difference of waking up every day in a home I’m proud of and love, while not having to worry about my son tossing his muddy shoes in the wrong spot.
Now, I LOVE helping other moms find this freedom too. I’m the design momcierge that takes it all on so you don’t have to. I handle everything from design concept to installation to renovation project management.
