But there is much more to me than that...

Hi, I'M MARIA MURPHY

I’m so happy you’re here and I'm honored that you want to know a little more about me! My favorite titles are “wifey & mom”. I’ve been married to my loving Husband, Josh since 2014, and I’m a proud mom of two sweet boys, Mason & Miles. Family is at the core of who I am any why I do what I do.



Design is what I do best.

It all started when..

Well, I’ve always been passionate about home design. With both my parents owning their own architecture & design firms, I practically grew up on construction sites. Home design is in my blood. I’ve also been very fortunate in my life to travel all over the world and soak in history and inspiration. With my Italian roots, I’m naturally drawn to the warm character of vintage European decor and textures.  At the very beginning of my career I worked as full time graphic designer, art director and stylist for broadcast networks such as HGTV & DIY. After going out on my own back in 2016, I decided to focus my passions and services solely on helping busy families create the home of their dreams!

I'M OBSESSED WITH:


Pinterest  (yes, still)

MY addicted to:



Iced almond milk caramel lattes

I STARTED THIS BUSINESS:




At the age of 26



MY favorite way to de-stress:





Crossfit  & bubble baths


What I am currently into

I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT:


My boys (hubs, 2 kiddos and fur baby)

BEST VACATION SPOT:


Any beach and I'm there

MOST IMPORTANT LESSON:



Make every decision for your "why"

my guilty pleasure:

Reality TV

If I wasn't in Interior Design, I would probably be in fashion

When I first started my blog (back before it was a thing) my content was actually focused on fashion! It was my journal and escape from the work I was doing at my 9-5. It was a fun outlet to express my personal style and report on trends. After just a year of blogging I somehow found myself attending (third row & proud of it) NYFW! Later that year I also became a finalist to become a style contributor for E! Network (still feels unreal). Even though fashion still has a huge part of my heart, after becoming a mom, it become clear that my calling was to help other families create beautiful spaces to call home.
