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..
FOUNDER | PRINCIPLE DESIGNER | CREATOR
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.

"If you are in need of a talented interior designer to help beautify any room in your home, look no further, Maria is hands down the best of the best. What I thought would have been a stressful process, turned out to be the easiest and most fun process. Maria completely transformed my home by creating a more warm, cozy, and welcoming space. Maria’s communication skills, creativity and attention to detail, understanding our needs in our home design, strong budgeting skills, and her awareness about current styles and trends are just a few strong qualities in why I chose Maria to be our interior designer. I will be hiring Maria for any future projects in our home."

"I reached out to Maria to create/design the perfect space for our son. When I got home today, I walked in and was speechless. When I imagined the space that I will spend long nights rocking with him in a cozy chair, reading him books that I remember from my childhood, playing with him on the floor, and watching him sleep in his sweet crib- this is the exact space that I imagined.. This room brings me so much joy and is already filled with so much love! You are so talented and I am beyond grateful and thankful to have worked with you. You made my dreams come true and I can’t wait to bring my son home to his beautiful room."
