Small but mighty, this jewel box powder bath was designed to leave a lasting impression the moment you step inside. đŸ«¶đŸ»

“Why hire a designer when I can just manage the design decisions myself?” It’s a fair question
 until decisions start stacking up, deadlines approach, and you’re drowning in your full time job without time to put much thought into what spaces should look like, let alone present them to the builder in a way they can understand and actually build from.

Around here, a build or remodel goes far beyond selecting finishes. It’s about the architectural flow, the way spaces connect, and how a room actually supports your day-to-day life long after move-in day. In fact, some builders we work with require clients to select a designer to handle the thousands of decisions that come up through the process.

From initial floor plans and elevations to custom millwork, materials, and every technical detail in between, we guide the process so nothing feels overlooked or disconnected. The best homes are the ones where intention and individuality meet, resulting in a space that feels cohesive, elevated, and built to be lived in for years to come.

Our work is to create a home that effortlessly works for you đŸ€

If you’re worried an all white bathroom might feel cold, the answer is always in the details. In this space, patinaed brass fixtures bring just enough depth to soften the cooler tones and give everything a quiet warmth. ✹

We layered in mixed materials and kept the existing rich window treatments to add contrast where it matters. The result feels inviting, grounded, and completely timeless like the before never even existed. (Swipe twice!)

Clean, functional, and the kind of space that settles in and stays.

Ruff life
 đŸŸ Designing a truly functional home means planning for every member of the family, including the four-legged ones.

In this project, performance was key. Durable, wipe-clean cabinetry keeps up with daily life, while polished quartz countertops bring scratch and stain resistance without sacrificing style.

Durable rugs add with warmth and texture, while standing up to paws, zoomies, and everything in between.

The result is a kitchen that works as beautifully as it looks and works with the rest of the home (and even the most important family member finds their spot right in the middle of it all for a midday nap).

Dark academia meets the shoreline... 🌊 This home blends celestial wonder with woodland whimsy, but today, the color-drenched family room takes center stage.

Starting with celestial wallpaper, we pulled a tonal paint color directly from the pattern to create a layered, “color drenched” effect. To balance the movement on the walls and ceiling, we anchored the space with a crisp, custom performance sectional; high design built for busy family life.

Heading into summer, we’re opening space for 1–2 gut remodels and one new build project. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, now is a beautiful time to start the conversation!

Slow Sunday mornings, coffee for two, and a dining area that actually works for your lifestyle. ☕

In , the goal was to maximize a high-traffic transition zone between the kitchen and front door. Good design here isn’t just aesthetic, it’s about making daily life feel effortless.
From a quick espresso at the counter to a slow morning moment in the built-in banquette, every detail is scaled to how you live.

Pro tip: in small corners, think vertical. Roman shades and elevated pendants draw the eye up, making even the tightest nook feel like a tucked-away café moment.

Whoever told you kids’ rooms had to be tacky
 I’m sorry you were misinformed. đŸ«¶đŸ» As an interior designer and a mom of three, I know this more than anyone! These rooms can feel magical for them while still being beautifully considered within the home as a whole.

Give them a space that feels special in their world today, but also has the foundation to grow with who they’re becoming. What feels sweet and storybook now should easily transition as he gets older, without ever needing a full reset. 🚜

Whole home design begins the second you walk through the front door. đŸ€Ž (Transition spaces deserve their moment, too!)

This staircase was never a blank slate; it just needed intention. With a fresh wood stain, iron balusters, and a tailored runner softening every step, there’s now a lived-in rhythm underfoot; a reminder that every movement through this home was thoughtfully considered.

With our whole home remodels, every corner, every pass-through, and every step start speaking the same language.

Over the years, Alicia Thomasson Interiors has grown into something far greater than I could have imagined. Today, we are a group dedicated women, each bringing our own expertise, creativity, and care to every project we touch. All of us - along with our incredible trade partners - have built something very special, and with that growth comes a name and brand that better tells our story.

I am excited to announce that....


Alicia Thomasson Interiors has now become...


Oak & Lace.


OAK represents the strength of our team and partners, the conscious effort in creating designs made to last, and the structured processes and systems that allow every project to feel intentional, organized, and expertly guided from beginning to end.

LACE represents not only the intricate and thoughtful details in our designs, but how we are committed to show up in our work. We believe strength and softness can exist together. We lead with professionalism, and handle even the most complex challenges with calm, grace, and integrity. There is power in that balance, and it is something our team embodies every day.


In the coming weeks, you’ll begin to see our new visual identity, including a refined logo and brand presence that reflects who we have become, and where we are going.
