Shannon Hetherington

INTERIOR DESIGNER / THRIFTING & PLANT EXPERT

Hi! I'm Shannon, I’ve spent over 30 years in interior design helping people fall back in love with their homes. I’ve worked as a designer for high-end furniture showrooms, collaborated with architectural firms, and run my own private design business.

I’ve lived on the North Shore my whole life, and I’m inspired by vintage pieces, repurposed treasures, and the beauty of giving things a second life. I’m also a mom of three, which means I design with real life in mind; comfort, function, and rooms that can actually be lived in.

If you’re ready for color, creativity, and a space you love walking into, I can’t wait to work with you.

Allison Beilke

INTERIOR DESIGNER / GRAPHIC ARTIST

Hi I’m Allison, I love to make the world a little more fun, inspiring and bright. After over a decade working as a graphic designer, I discovered my true passion when I transitioned into interior design.

Through years of working in the design industry, I honed my ability to translate ideas into clear 2D and 3D floor plans for clients who struggle to visualize their space. I genuinely enjoy helping clients who feel overwhelmed by decision-making, guiding them toward choices that feel comfortable, functional, and true to their personal style.

I grew up in Wisconsin, but after meeting my husband, we have since settled on the North Shore of Massachusetts with our family of pets.
