What you see: a pretty pile of samples.
What it took: weeks of sourcing, testing, and editing for our Swansboro Lane project.

Oak, blush tile, woven stripe, teal pattern. Each one chosen for how it works with the others and with how this family actually lives.

So what does a designer do that you can’t? You could pull samples yourself. What we bring is the trained eye to know which ones belong together, access to trade only and custom pieces, and the coordination that keeps your project moving while you get your time back.

That quiet, behind the scenes work is what keeps a home cohesive and protects you from expensive mistakes.

Part 2 of our studio transformation! We gave our own space the same care we give our clients’ homes, and we’re still loving the result two years later.

As a neurodivergent designer, I know how much your environment shapes the way you focus and create. Every corner was planned around our daily workflow, and our team handled the design and renovation ourselves.

Two years in our home base, 11 years of doing what we love.

Save this one if you’re dreaming up an office makeover!

Not afraid of color, and it shows 🌈

We designed this home to feel playful, personal, and full of saturated hues.

Celebrating 2 years in our new office location!

Two years ago, we moved into a space that needed a lot of love. The before was a blank canvas with potential we could see. The after? An office intentional for the way we work, designed and renovated by our own team.

As designers, we don’t just create spaces for our clients; we built one for ourselves, and it’s been a joy to work in every day since.

Here’s to two years in our home base, and to 11 years of doing what we love. 🥂

Save this reel for some office before and after inspiration!

Exciting news! I contributed to an article for Southern Living!

It's on a topic people are always asking about - how to make a living room feel warm and conversational for hosting. In this piece, I shared my thoughts on the answer I keep coming back to: layered lighting.

Give yourself more than one way to light a room, so the space can shift with your mood. Cleaning or having friends over? Overheads on. Winding down after a long day? Maybe just the picture lights and one good lamp.

It's such a small change, but it transforms how a room feels.

11 years ago, I started TEW at my dining room table, with my dog Jupiter as my very first (and very unqualified) receptionist.🐾☎️

Not long after, I saw my work in print for the first time in our local paper. I think I bought every copy they had.

Today? We’ve been featured in Architectural Digest and Southern Living, we have a real office, 4 incredible employees, and more design dreams brought to life than I can count.

From humble beginnings to this, I’m so grateful for every client, collaborator, and cheerleader who’s been part of the journey. Here’s to the next 11. 🥂✨

We've shown you the dining room and breakfast nook, then the entry, living room, and sitting room. Now it's time for the private side of the home: the primary bedroom, the office/music room, and the upstairs fireplace sitting room.

These are the rooms where biophilic design does its quietest work. Our clients wanted to reconnect with nature after years in the city, so upstairs we leaned into what our nervous systems actually respond to: deep, cocoon-like color in the bedroom to signal rest, a color-drenched office to signal focus, and natural light and warmth to anchor it all. It's not just a look. It's biology.

Swipe through to see all three rooms. 👉

Last time, we showed you the dining room and breakfast nook. Now we’re moving into the rooms that set the tone for the whole house: the entry, the living room, and the sitting room.

The entry is the first thing our clients saw when they walked through the front door, so we wanted it to feel like the house had been waiting for them. From there, the living room and sitting room were planned for two different kinds of evenings: one for gathering, one for slowing down.

We designed the majority of this home virtually, with our clients still living in California. Seeing it all come together was such a fun process.

Stay tuned, because there’s more of this home still to come.👀

The reveal we've been waiting all year to share. ✨

This one's special: a mid-century modern home in the Hillsborough, designed almost entirely from a distance. Our clients found their forever home in NC before they'd even left California, and we got to build their next chapter for them, screen by screen, sample by sample, months before they ever walked through the front door.

Every room was space-planned for the life they were moving into. Renderings, concept boards, mailed swatches, virtual calls across a three-hour time difference... and it came together like we'd been in the room the whole time.

This is one of our favorite projects of the year, and we can't wait to walk you through it room by room. Consider this the first of many. 🏡
