Designing for simplicity. Curating for story.
Designing homes shaped by intention, vintage character, and the quiet beauty of simple everyday living.
My Design Philosiphy
Designing homes where simplicity is the intention and vintage character tells the story. That is how I have always approached my own home; and it is the philosophy behind every space I help create.
You don’t need a massive renovation to have a beautiful home. You just need intention.
For over a decade, I have been restoring our 1903 Queen Anne Victorian, building a tiny house cabin, and helping others find the calm underneath the clutter. My design philosophy,Vintage Simplicity, is not about having less. It is about choosing better. It is about warmth without chaos, patina without clutter, and creating spaces that actually serve the way you live.
Whether you need a fresh set of eyes to simplify your current space, a complete virtual room design, or an in-person consultation here in Central Alberta, I am here to help you build a home slowly, with intention, and surrounded by things that have meaning.

Virtual Design Services
The Simplicity Edit
$497 USD
You don’t need to buy new furniture, you just need to know what to do with what you already have. This is a fast, high-impact 90-minute virtual session where we walk through your most overwhelming room together. I will tell you exactly what to move, what to remove, and how to style your existing pieces so the room finally feels like you.
What’s included:
- A pre-call questionnaire so I understand your pain points before we meet.
- A 90-minute live Zoom consultation where we edit and style the room in real-time.
- Immediate, actionable advice on furniture placement, decluttering, and flow.
- A follow-up email with my specific recommendations for paint colours or small finishing touches.
Please fill out the contact form below or email me directly at [email protected]; I look forward to connecting!
The Collected Room Design
$1,500 USD per room
For the room that needs a complete reset. You want the elevated, collected feel of Vintage Simplicity, but you don’t have the time to source the pieces or figure out the layout.
I will design the space for you from top to bottom, blending antique character with clean, livable design.
What’s included:
- A 60-minute virtual kickoff call to discuss your vision, budget, and how you use the space.
- A custom mood board establishing the tone, textures, and colour palette.
- A detailed floor plan showing exactly where every piece should go.
- A curated shopping list with direct links to purchase everything (a mix of new foundational pieces and sourced vintage accents).
- Two rounds of revisions to ensure the design is absolutely perfect.
- A 30-minute wrap-up call to walk you through the installation.
Please fill out the contact form below or email me directly at [email protected]; I look forward to connecting!
Local In-Person Services
Available exclusively in Central Alberta.
In-Home Design Consultation
$350 CAD (up to 2 hours)
Sometimes you just need a designer to stand in your house and tell you what is not working. I will come to your home, walk your spaces with you, and provide immediate, hands-on direction. We can use this time to solve a tricky layout, choose paint colours, organize a chaotic kitchen, or build a master plan for a future renovation.
Ongoing Design Support
$150 CAD / hour
Following your initial consultation, I am available at an hourly rate for ongoing project management, personal antique shopping, or full-service room design.
(Note: A travel fee of $0.73/km applies for locations outside the immediate local area.)

Your Questions
Not at all. If you book the Simplicity Edit, the entire goal is to use what you already own. If we are doing a Collected Room Design, I work strictly within the budget you set, and I am a firm believer in mixing high-quality foundational pieces with affordable vintage finds.
It is incredibly simple. Once you book, you will receive a questionnaire and instructions on how to take photos and measurements of your room. We meet on Zoom, and I deliver all your design files digitally. You execute the design on your own timeline.
Yes. While the Virtual Room Design package is priced for living spaces and bedrooms, I frequently consult on kitchen and bathroom renovations. Book an initial consultation (virtual or local) and we can discuss the scope of your project.
Your home should be the haven you go to when the world feels too loud. Let’s make space for what matters. – Deborah
