Beautifully Curated Homes

You’re A High-Performing Professional Who Wants Your Home To Feel Like A Retreat

You want to leave the high stress, intense demands, and decision fatigue of your corporate boss energy in the office. 

Your home reflects the other side of you. It’s intimate, cozy, unique, luxurious. It’s where you nurture all that you love.

As a former corporate executive, I relate to the desire to live beautifully and the challenges of juggling other priorities that get in the way. 

You’re in the right place.

We believe that living in a well-appointed home can improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

Working with us means you have a hassle-free experience. We bring both the high-level project management skills and creative expertise to deliver that bespoke magazine-worthy home that you are ready for. 

IMAGINE . . .

That Your Home Is Completely Finished.

No more punch lists, empty walls, off-scale couches, or desks from your 20s.

Your home is functional, gorgeous, perfectly styled, uniquely yours, and Enhances the way you live.

You’ve invested in a home that reflects your accomplishments. You’ve earned that.

your home is your favorite place to be now. Living well is about nurturing connection and tradition with your people.

THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

OWNER

As an ex Wall Street hedge fund VP and former Chief of Staff, I can relate to the demands of professional life. I know you want to work with someone you can trust who has a reliable process, excellent project management skills, and high-touch client service.

I have traveled to more than 25 countries and love adventure. I bring a unique global perspective to design. Living in NYC for 11 years gave me exposure to incredible art, culture, and fashion, which inspire my award-winning design work.

I cherish relationships with people who trust me to tell their stories. Design is personal. It’s not about recreating the latest catalog look. It’s about understanding how my clients want to live.  

In my childhood, afternoons spent down at the lake feeding the swans was a constant. My grandmother had the gift of making many traditions like this special. I honor that spirit of embracing small moments by creating beautiful homes where traditions that make life remarkable can flourish.

Hi, I’m Audra Samnotra.
