Isabelle LaRue – Founder
Isabelle had no idea that leaving her cushy, yet unfulfilling, 6 figure salary corporate job, combined with a move to NYC would completely change her life.
As she transformed her NYC cookie-cutter 450 ft2 rented studio apartment into an elegant custom home she loves, Isabelle rekindled her passion for interior design and her love for building things with her hands. But it was by sharing her designs with others that she discovered her true calling: empowering others to pick up some tools and create a home they love, no matter where they live or how small their space.
Isabelle elevates bland, uninspiring spaces with her unique MacGyver meets Martha Stewart approach: clever and practical, her designs are inspired by how people actually use the space they live in, and what brings them joy. The results are beautiful timeless interiors and outdoor spaces that are the perfect blend of form and function.
