Homes That Tell A Story Of Your Life
Raleigh, Cary, Wilmington & Beyond

We are rooted in family, with each of us being very close to ours. We draw inspiration from getting to know our clients, and pride ourselves on our ability to provide personality-driven spaces because we only work with a handful of clients at a given time.

We are a team of highly trained and technical professionals who are constantly learning and improving our skills and are passionate about building homes and spaces in the most meaningful ways.

Our team brings a tangible energy and enthusiasm to the design process, and clarity to an experience that can be overwhelming for clients otherwise. 

Sally Williams

owner & principal designer

In a world of creatives, Sally Williams stands out from the crowd.

From Architectural Digest, to Southern Home and Elle Decor, she has been applauded for designing personality-driven spaces to call home. Storied. Collected. Layered. A hub for family connection after a busy day.

An avid global traveler and former art gallery owner, Sally brings a bespoke quality and artisanal flair to her spaces. A mother and busy professional herself, her enthusiasm for sophisticated family living is apparent from the functional details to the welcoming nature of her spaces.

On a personal level you can find Sally spending her weekends experiencing new restaurants with her husband, connecting with her adult children, and planning the next family European adventure to include sourcing one-of-a-kind objets d’art. Sally also loves shopping local and online estate auctions for fabulous antiques and original works of art; and attending gallery openings and artisan craft markets to discover new artists for personal and client projects. Other favorite pursuits include donating time to charitable organizations such as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and The Green Chair Project.
