Our goal is to help you create BEAUTIFUL, FUNCTIONAL, FAITH-INSPIRED spaces for you and your family to SPEND TIME TOGETHER

Hello there.
We're so glad you're here!

EM began in 2018 as an online publication with a mission of encouraging and supporting mothers in our everyday work. That goal remains at the heart of what we do and our work as designers.

Our foundational principle has always been “love begins at home.” We believe the places where we live our everyday lives should marry beauty and function, and reflect the values of the family housed within.

Guided by our faith and passion for all things home and design, we officially launched our design services in 2020. Since then, we've (collectively) helped over 150 clients from all parts of the country.

we want to help you love the home you have, and to feel confident in making a home for your family that reflects your unique interests, talents, style and aesthetic.
