Hi, I’m Monica Fernandes, a proud working mama with two kids and a supportive, loving husband. We have been married for over six years, and boy, does life look different compared to when we first started dating.

Between kids, activities, school, work, and, well, just life, we accumulated so much “stuff.” Our once roomy house had turned into a place to accumulate papers, toys, bills, clothes, laundry...you name it...the list goes on.‍

Can you relate?

And if you’re like me, if the house feels cluttered, then life feels that much more chaotic. It can feel like the only solution is to move into a bigger place to fit all your stuff.

• what if I told you there was a different way?
• What if I told you, you don’t have to increase the size of your home?
• What if you don't have to purge everything, but instead, you just have to reimagine the way you utilize the space in your home and recapture wasted spaces?

You see, moving wasn’t an option for my family. So, over 5 years ago, I set out on a quest to better use the space that I have. I hired interior decorators and architects to put my vision down on paper so the contractor could make my ideas come to life by rearranging the space and adding custom built-ins. What did I find throughout the process?

After thousands of dollars spent, I walked away with half-baked drawings that needed to be “confirmed in the field” and bids for custom built-ins that came with a hefty price tag. The whole process was an ineffective use of time and money.

There had to be a better way. While I couldn’t get back the money spent on the half-ass plans, I ultimately completed the plans myself with detailed measurements and subsequently completed the project for half of the price with the same professional look.

I discovered my passion for designing high-end spaces on a budget, including space planning, layout, and design for built-ins and furniture selection.

It was then I knew I wanted to help others do the same....make it accessible to achieve beautifully designed spaces by providing a vision, detailed drawings, and a furniture listing, so you can buy at your local store or online and skip the daunting task and cost of dealing with pricey interior designers, architects, contractors, etc.

I look forward to helping you get to your dream home!
