Stephanie spends her weekends with her family, cooking and enjoying time with her children. She has a passion for refinishing old furniture and gardening with her family, teaching their children how to grow their own food and appreciate nature’s bounty. Her family is her world, and she finds joy in experiencing life through her children's eyes.

Deanna Redding
DESIGNER
Deanna brings years of broad-spectrum education and experience, from thoughtful fixer-uppers to ground-up custom luxury builds. She has experience in almost every aspect of home design, from cabinetry and space planning to custom window treatments and furnishings. With her career firmly focused on Kitchen and Bath design, she can handle a wide range of remodeling projects.
Deanna’s philosophy is “Since Mother Nature is truly the best Designer of all, I draw inspiration from much of her work.” Nature doesn’t decorate- she solves. Light, airflow, material, and pattern work together to create resilience and beauty in your everyday spaces. Your home should feel collected, not decorated. Her process is simple: listen first and then design by thoughtfully curating color, texture and flow resulting in a space custom designed for the way you live.
