We’re celebrating our 4th Year Business Anniversary!

I love to look back at the entire year and see what went really well, what challenges we faced, and what we’re looking forward to!

One of the first things I notice when I look through our projects this year is the number of repeat and referral clients we received!! WOO!

It’s a huge honor when clients return for another project or when they refer us.  Thank you!! It means we’re not only serving our clients, but we are affecting their lives positively and in turn, making them want to continue the journey of updating all their spaces! 😊

As far as the challenges we faced, last year, two of our designers left. We went from a team of 5 to a team of 3. Amelia moved to California to be close to her family and found a great firm there and Katie started at a commercial firm in DC! It was hard to see them go, as we were very close, but I am also a very proud of them!

The fabulous Nicki took on the task of the main designer for our projects and we learned to work better as a team of 3. Also, we’re also leveraging our team of virtual assistants much better. A year later, it feels like we’re a smooth-running machine, yes!

On the personal side of things, I took some longer form vacations this summer to New Orleans and Puerto Rico, for the first team since I started the business. It felt amazing to take a much-needed break. 😊

And with that, let’s take a look at some of our accomplishments for the year:
