Come with me to check my client’s stone before fabrication. I’m looking over each slab for quality, veining and any imperfections before the first cut is made.

One of my favorite places to shop stone in Lafayette is the selection is top notch. Maria, the owner, and her staff and fabulous to work with.

has the fabrication covered and always provides seamless cuts and reliable service.

At quality control is a big part of our role and having a team that makes it easy, makes the world of difference! 🩷🙌🏻

This one has been in the works for a little while. 💕

Over the last year, we’ve had more and more clients come to us with plans that needed more detail, projects that needed to be drawn from the ground up, or simply asking, “Can y’all do the plans too?”

We saw the void, so we decided to fill it.

Magnolia Design Studio now has draftsman + architectural services in-house, which means we can start with the plans and carry that same vision straight through the interior design process.

Have a project in mind?

Send us a DM, give us a call, or come sit down with us in person for a consultation at our studio right off Verot School Road, with our team.

We’ll talk through your project, square footage and scope, determine whether draftsman-style or architectural plans are the right fit for your project and give you pricing for plans only or plans + interior design.

Rates vary based on heated + cooled square footage, total under roof and exterior scope.

We listened. We built the team. Now we’re ready. 🙌🏻

I get asked all the time.
Real estate or design?

Both.
And they go hand in hand more than you might think.

As a REALTOR®, I’m constantly researching the MLS, not just what’s listed, but what’s actually selling and why it’s selling.

I can see where new construction is outperforming resale, which pockets are growing, how long homes are sitting, what buyers are paying per square foot, and what seems to be moving the needle.

Then design gives me another layer.

I know what selections cost. I understand the difference between designing a spec home for the market and a custom home for one specific client.

I work with builders and architects to help make sure the vision on paper actually aligns with the client’s budget and with what the market will support. No one wants to be upside down with no equity in their brand new home.

Real estate has also been part of my life long before I had a license. My mom was in real estate, and I’ve been around renovations and flipping houses since I was about 13.

So don’t let the two roles confuse you.
One sharpens the other.

Today’s BTS: settling into my new office and prepping for my first builder meeting this afternoon. 🏡📐

Now I need your help with this space…

Sometimes a remodel isn’t planned, it starts with a busted pipe. 😅

After a PEX pipe flooded this client’s primary bathroom + closet, we got the opportunity to rethink the space instead of simply putting it back the way it was.

New layout, realistic renderings, polished nickel selections, inset cabinetry, a new soaking tub + a closet designed for WAY better storage.

This is the part of interior design I love: giving the client a clear vision, the contractor a clear plan, and making sure all the pieces actually make it to the jobsite. All the preparation is to ensure the process is a streamlined as possible. 📋

From damage → design → rebuild.

I’ve worked on full-home projects where I’ve altered both the front and back elevations to create a more natural, cohesive look layering materials, adjusting architectural details, and making sure the home feels intentional from every angle.

Sometimes it’s hard to see beyond the original architectural plans. That’s why I always say: designer first, architect second, builder third.

The designer helps establish the vision + elements.
The architect translates that vision into structural plans. The builder determines the cost + ex*****on of bringing it to life.

This particular home created by MDS, is a true representation of MDS style which is timeless, layered, elevated, but still warm and livable.

For a home at this scale and level of finish, you could be looking at approximately $850K without the pool, and potentially $1.8M with the pool, outdoor living areas, hardscaping and all of the patio elements shown.

Of course your land, site conditions, selections and construction costs obviously playing a major role in those cost.

And that’s exactly where Magnolia Design Studio comes in.

We can walk with you through the entire process:

Concept → Design → Architectural Plans → Build → Finishes → Furnishings

Instead of trying to make dozens of disconnected decisions along the way, we help establish the vision from the beginning and carry it through to the finished home.

Want more information on this plan or what it would take to create something similar? MDS is happy to help!

People DM me all the time asking to see my portfolio, and I’m always happy to share past projects.

But the truth is, none of those projects are a true depiction of my personal style. They’re my clients’ styles and that’s kind of the point. 😅

My job is to understand what my clients love, manage all the moving pieces, and pull the finishes, materials and details together so the end result feels cohesive and, most importantly, like them.

But these next few photos?

If I had to define my personal style to a T… this is it. 🙌🏻

Timeless, collected, a little moody, warm natural materials, old-world details mixed with classic architecture the kind of home that feels like it’s always been there.

So consider this less of a portfolio and more of a peek inside my brain. 👀🩷

The perfect escape when looking for the finishing touches on your home 👀🩷🙌🏻

I’ve been a little quiet lately because I’ve been working on some really fun projects and I have A LOT of exciting things in the works for MDS!

Here’s a little sneak peek at 1 of 4 spec homes I’m currently designing for a builder. We’re almost to the finish line with the design process, and I can’t wait to see everything come together!

There’s a LOT of planning that goes into a new build, and as we all know, not everything always goes according to plan. 😅 That’s exactly why I recommend getting the majority of your selections and design decisions made before the home is framed. It helps keep the process organized, reduces costly changes, and allows everyone involved to stay ahead of the build.

Whether you’re a builder, homeowner, or remodel company, MDS can help guide you through the design and selection process from start to finish.

✨ MDS also offers in-person consultations at no charge to the client.


And for my builder, realtor, contractor, and industry friends, MDS has a referral program! If you refer a client who books with MDS, you’ll receive a 10% referral fee based on my design scope.

Enough is enough! 😂 I’ve gotten SO many inquiries from people who need design help, but aren’t looking to design an entire home.

So, I decided to create a few smaller, more approachable design packages for those projects that need a professional eye but don’t require full-service design.

Whether you’re renovating a bathroom, redoing your kitchen, refreshing a bedroom, or tackling your exterior, I kept you in mind. 🤍

These packages are designed to help take the guesswork out of your project and give you a beautiful, cohesive plan without the investment of a full-home design package.

Swipe to see the new packages →

And as always, if you have a project that doesn’t quite fit one of these, send me a message! We can figure it out. ✨

Not every project needs full-service interior design.

It just needs thoughtful design. Timeless style. A plan in place, you can actually use!
