Before & After | Historic Webster Park

Previous clients, neighbors, and friends! We helped these clients with their previous home, so when they purchased a beautiful Victorian in historic Webster Park, they called us again!

The only problem? Their old furniture and style just didn’t quite work in the new house. So what do you do? Well, that happens to be one of our specialties!

We love working with what you already own, reimagining pieces in new ways, mixing in a few new finds, and respecting the architecture and character of an older home. Most importantly, we want your home to feel uniquely YOU!

There’s so much more to share from this project, but I couldn’t wait to give you a little peek!

A little refresh in my own home! 🤍

We recently repainted our dining room, trading Benjamin Moore’s Winter Orchard for Benjamin Moore’s Swiss Coffee. It’s warm, creamy, and just right. Sometimes a simple change is needed!

A big thank you to Anna Mudd and her crew for doing such a beautiful job bringing the paint plan to life. I’d recommend them in a heartbeat!

A mantel makeover that made all the difference!

Sometimes a few thoughtful changes completely transform a space! We lowered the mantel, replaced the mirror with European deer mounts, fresh greenery, candlesticks, and books, and chose a paint color that complements the undertones of the marble countertops in the adjoining kitchen.

Designer tip: Mirrors over mantels are beautiful, but only when they reflect something interesting! This one was reflecting a ceiling fan.

The result? Organic, fresh, and so pretty! 🤍

What homes are made for. ❤️

Friday night I had the joy of opening our home to friends from our Worship Team at Refresh Community Church, alongside my friend Leah, owner of wrappedandwritten.

Leah and I both work in creative industries, spending our days making beautiful things for others. Her gorgeous calligraphy is worth checking out!

But as much as we love creating beauty for our clients, there’s something even sweeter about bringing that creativity into our own homes and sharing it with the people we love.

An evening of soup, salad, good conversation, making music and a house full of friends.

At Mason House Design, I believe a beautiful home isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about the life that happens inside it. Friday night was a sweet reminder of just that. ❤️

27 years married and still finding beautiful places to explore together! ❤️

Eric and I spent a wonderful afternoon celebrating our anniversary at The Loading Dock in Grafton, Illinois. Live music, a few drinks and absolutely perfect weather!

We stumbled upon the most beautiful event space tucked behind the weekend flea market, right on the Mississippi River. It was quiet, peaceful and so simply designed. We found a spot right at the water’s edge and stayed awhile.

As a designer, I need days like this. Time away to slow down, take in beautiful spaces and find fresh inspiration. This space was such a lovely reminder that less really can be more. Simple, modern and timeless. Nothing competing with the beautiful surroundings.

We ended the day watching the sunset over the Mississippi on the ferry back toward St. Charles. Just perfect!

Sometimes inspiration comes when you’re not even looking for it.

More photos to come!

Some days you win. Some days you wonder why you didn’t hire a moving company. 😂

Yesterday, Megan and I were working on a client’s primary bedroom, and I cannot WAIT to show you this space! We’re just waiting on a gorgeous Java-colored velvet sectional from West Elm for the sitting area.

But first, we had a little problem to solve.

We layered a beautiful area rug over the carpet, but the rug kept bunching under the bed. Turns out, you need a special rug pad designed for layering rugs over carpet. Who knew?

The bigger problem? Moving the BED. We researched furniture levers, bought little furniture dollies (basically miniature skateboards), and even broke out the CAR JACKS from our vehicles. Yes, actual car jacks. 😂

And after all that? The bed wouldn’t budge.

Enter our client’s husband and teenage sons. Apparently, the solution was MUSCLE. 💪

Interior design. Equal parts creativity, problem-solving, and questioning your life choices.

You win some, you lose some. But at least we got a good story out of it!

Stay tuned for the pretty pictures!

Some days interior design looks like pretty finishes and styled rooms. Other days it looks like moving furniture, hauling boxes, sourcing, pickups, deliveries, and putting it all back together again.

I really do love that this work keeps me moving but today, my dogs are tired!😂 Not a bad place to put my feet up though.

And yes, that’s Benjamin Moore Bo***ir on the walls. The artwork? You may be surprised where I found it.

A little throwback to this finished project from last October.

My client already had beautiful pieces, she just needed help pulling everything together and knowing what to keep, what to move, and what to let go.

In the living room, we gave a long empty wall purpose by adding storage, then styled it to bring some order and cohesion to the space.

In the dining room, we brought in color and created a cozy little seating vignette that made the room feel warmer and more intentional.

Such a good reminder that you don’t always need to start over. Sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes, a little editing, and a plan.
