Recent Project

Creek House | Portsmouth, NH

Located along Sagamore Creek in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, this Airbnb was designed to feel like a relaxed coastal escape. Drawing inspiration from classic New England interiors, the home was furnished with layered textures, comfortable seating, and a soft coastal palette to create an inviting experience for guests. The project included furnishings, lighting, artwork, window treatments, and styling throughout the property.

Recent Project

Riverside Drive | Stonington, CT

This waterfront home was thoughtfully renovated to celebrate its breathtaking views while creating a warm, timeless interior. Dana assisted with the paint color palette and decorative lighting selections, helping establish a cohesive foundation throughout the open-concept living spaces. Soft neutral walls, warm natural wood beams, and carefully selected fixtures work together to enhance the home's abundant natural light and strengthen the connection between the interior and the surrounding coastal landscape.

The result is a bright, inviting retreat that feels both sophisticated and effortlessly livable—a perfect reflection of classic New England coastal design.
