Interior Design
Thank you for visiting! After successfully designing my personal spaces and helping friends and family for over 20 years, I decided to share my wealth of knowledge with YOU! If you find my site helpful and engaging, please let me know, and I would love it if you like my post and share it with your friends and family.
Design Inspiration and Tips
You’ll find over 50 posts full of helpful content about interiors, gardens and adventure travel. My site provides lots of inspiration and actionable tips that will help you transform your home. In addition to interior design tips, you’ll learn how we successfully designed and built two home additions and a new kitchen in the Coastal Cottage.
My current project is turning an Ocean Dunes Fixer into a Coastal Modern retreat. Allison’s Interior Design experience and training from Online Design Courses | New York Institute of Art & Design (nyiad.edu) allows her to design functional and beautiful spaces. My husband, Jim provides research-based tips for smart design, construction, and plumbing. Here’s what you will find on this site:
- Learn how to identify your style and successfully implement it into your home.
- Learn design fundamentals, including mood, scale, color, finishing touches, and much more.
- Learn basic construction techniques, including how to hire a contractor, as well as plumbing, tiling, flooring, lighting, and more.

We live in paradise, so when we travel we head to the mountains. Check my site to learn about the time spent in our national, state, and local parks. Learn how to exchange your home in my post about our home exchange with a family from Switzerland.
