Designed as a mountain vacation home for a well-traveled couple and their young daughter, Smith House takes its cues from the surrounding Chattahoochee Hills landscape. Warm woods, expressive stone, soft neutrals, and aged metals were used to create a home that feels grounded in nature while still refined, sculptural, and contemporary.
In the kitchen, that language becomes the anchor of the home. The result: a place for slow mornings, shared meals, and the quiet rhythm of mountain living.
The Mountain Home Kitchen
the signature edit
Set in the mountains of Georgia, Smith House was designed as a vacation home for a well-traveled couple and their young daughter. The interiors draw from the surrounding landscape through warm woods, expressive stone, soft neutrals, and aged metals, creating a home that feels grounded, refined, and easy to live in.
A Collected Mountain Home
The Signature Edit
This project began as a home with strong bones, but the spaces felt dated, heavy, and disconnected. Through the Signature Design service, structural updates, layout refinement, material direction, and finishing details worked together to create a warmer and more intentional home.
Walls were opened, finishes were reconsidered, and each room was shaped to feel more connected to the next. The result is a before-and-after story that shows how thoughtful design decisions can completely shift the way a home looks, feels, and lives.
The Miramar Reset
the Signature edit
This apartment in Wynwood was designed through a virtual process for a client who needed clarity before making decisions. We created a visual roadmap that brought the space into focus: mood boards, palette direction, furniture concepts, material cues, and a cohesive point of view.
A Home, Directed Virtually
the virtual edit
THE MATERIALS
Walnut, marble, aged metal, soft neutrals, and sculptural accents.
THE INTENTION
To create a kitchen that supports daily rituals with ease, clarity, and warmth.
The Smith House kitchen was imagined as the home’s quiet center: functional enough for daily life, refined enough for gathering, and warm enough to feel lived in. Walnut, marble, soft neutrals, and aged metals create a restrained material palette, while the layout supports movement, ease, and the rituals that shape a family’s day.
THE MATERIALS
Soft neutrals, warm woods, sculptural forms, aged metals, and moments of contrast.
THE INTENTION
To create a cohesive home that feels refined, livable, and deeply connected from room to room.
Smith House unfolds through a series of quieter moments: a bedroom with softness, an office with focus, a powder room with personality, and a child’s room designed for both play and growth. The goal was not to repeat the same idea in every space, but to create a home that feels connected through tone, texture, and restraint. Each room carries its own rhythm while still belonging to the larger story.
THE APPROACH
Before-and-after views shaped by palette, proportion, styling, and restraint.
THE INTENTION
To bring a dated home into focus through warmer, more intentional design choices.
A before-and-after transformation completed through the Signature Design service, where structural updates, layout refinements, material selections, and styling worked together to bring the home into focus. Each comparison shows the shift from dated and disconnected to warm and refined.
THE SCOPE
Layout, styling, art placement, palette, and furnishings.
THE SERVICE
Virtual design edit through guided calls.
A virtual living room edit shaped through a series of design calls, visual direction, and remote styling guidance. The process focused on refining layout, furniture direction, wall art placement, palette, and finishing details to create a space that felt more collected, personal, and intentional.

"I was nervous about working virtually at first, but Kiera made the entire process feel clear and easy to follow. She took my photos, measurements, inspiration images, and budget into account, then translated everything into a design direction that actually felt like me. The moodboard, layout, and shopping recommendations helped me see the room in a way I couldn’t before. It gave me the confidence to stop second-guessing every purchase and finally start bringing the space together.”

“Kiera completely changed the way I experienced my home. I came in knowing I wanted the space to feel more elevated, but I had no idea how many decisions were standing between where it was and where it could be. She helped with the layout, sourcing, finishes, and all the details I never would have thought through on my own. What I appreciated most was that every choice felt intentional. Nothing felt random, rushed, or overly trendy. By the end, my home felt polished, personal, and so much more functional than before”
Melody M.
“I booked a Design Call because I knew something felt off in my space, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. Kiera came prepared, asked the right questions, and immediately helped me see what needed to change. In one call, we talked through layout, scale, color direction, and which pieces were worth keeping versus replacing. I left with clear next steps instead of a folder full of random inspiration photos. It was exactly the direction I needed before making any more purchases.”
