Helping families tell their story through design
I grew up on tradition and family. Those things matter to me and my family and I know they matter to my clients.
HOW CAN I HELP?
HERE'S HOW IT ALL STARTED
The Cardinal Story
To tell you the truth, Cardinal started well before I was ever born. The two people in the photo are my great grandparents. My great grandmother's name is Gloria Dean - and she's the definition of a southern hostess. Her home has always been filled with warmth, good memories and the best cooking that you've ever put in your mouth. Because her home was such a light to me in my childhood, her beautiful traditional decorating style became mine. Even though we never talked much about interiors or design, her stunning taste and ability to create a space that feels like "home" has stuck with me and influenced me throughout my career. It's these feelings, stories and memories that fuel me into helping other families tell their stories through interior design.
Every family is different, but we each have our own stories to tell.
More on Gloria dean
Her fabulous self nowadays!
Such a green thumb every season - her home was always our gathering place.
Christmas Eve at Nanny's was an annual tradition!
Lookin' pretty good for 92 :)
And as you can tell, with all those presents, we did it pretty big...
Her husband, my Gran-Gran, was truly the best man you'll ever know.

Offices need to feel cozy too!
If you're working 40 hours a week at an office, you want your space to feel inspiring and comfortable, right? Not only that, but we want our clients and customers to feel at ease when they walk through the door. That's the power of great design! From small office spaces to waiting rooms, let me help you create a space that you'll actually want to work in every day.

Kind Words
I would highly recommend Kayla. Her interior design work is amazing - from the design ideas to seeing it through with you to the very end. She has assisted our family from living room, master bedroom to a complete playroom makeover. Also, I had never had assistance with Christmas decorations until this year and I was in complete awe when she finished. I trust her to provide quality work and tries to match your style and budget.

Kayla has exceeded my expectations on every project, and I 10/10 recommend her to anyone who wants to transform their space into something beautiful.
