What began in a spare bedroom has grown into a design business built on elegance, intention, and function. Wendy and her team guide clients through the design and selection process, bridging the gap between homeowners and contractors to create timeless, livable spaces that reflect each client’s unique vision.

Currently pursuing a double major in Interior Design and Business at Sam Houston State University, she is passionate about creating warm, inviting spaces inspired by European design. When she’s not designing, you might find her antique hunting, enjoying the outdoors with her dog, Pepper, or spending time with family and friends. 🐾
