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.

Meet Monica

as a designer, Monica is drawn to classic looks with a modern spin, and loves working with vintage pieces to create that perfect combination of old and new.

She is also a licensed realtor with the heyday homes team (a division of Keller Williams Onechicago). She uses her real estate knowledge in combination with interior design to help buyers uncover the potential a home may have + help sellers to showcase their home in its best possible light.

Monica believes that beautiful and functional design is not just an aesthetic pursuit, but a transformative force that has the ability to enhance our daily experiences and foster connection, joy and peace.

Home is the nicest word there is.
