Take Control of Your Home or Event Design and decor…
I’m opening a few spots for complimentary 15-minute design chats perfect for fresh ideas, quick guidance, or a creative reset.This is a relaxed, no-pressure space to spark inspiration, refine your vision, and talk all things design. Contact me at info@thestripedbarn.com to book your day!
Have you ever felt unsure about a design decision for your home? Maybe a designer recommended something you didn’t love, or you signed a contract but later felt trapped by choices that didn’t reflect your style. Unfortunately, this happens far too often. Many homeowners are misinformed, pushed into decisions, or overwhelmed by the design process—and it doesn’t have to be that way. You just need a little DIY design under your belt! So whether your planning a remodel or fluffing pillows lets get creative together!
I’m Carrie, a licensed general contractor and interior designer with over 30 years of experience. I’ve helped hundreds of clients create spaces that are both functional and beautiful. I also know the pitfalls of the industry—contracts, sales pressure, and design trends that may not fit your lifestyle. My mission is to empower you with knowledge, confidence, and inspiration, so you can make decisions you truly love.
Why Most Homeowners Feel Overwhelmed by Design
You know what you want, we just have to bring it together!
Designing or renovating a home isn’t just about picking colors and furniture—it’s about solving problems. But without guidance, it’s easy to make decisions that lead to:
- Wasted time and money on materials or layouts that don’t work
- Feeling pressured into choices that don’t reflect your personal style
- Confusion about budgets, timelines, and contractor responsibilities
That’s why education and clear communication are key. When you understand your options, you can make informed decisions that feel right.
Beyond interiors, I offer creative direction for events and celebrations… thoughtfully styled parties, seasonal moments, custom tablescapes, and holiday gatherings… and all the moments worth dressing up. Event styling is my happy place!
How a Complimentary Consultation Can Help
I offer complimentary design consultations to help homeowners like you take control of your space. During our session, we will:
- Identify the root of your design challenges
We’ll dig into your goals, pain points, and vision to understand what’s really holding you back from the space you want. - Provide guidance and clarity
You’ll walk away with actionable advice, including material suggestions, layout solutions, and strategies to avoid costly mistakes. - Empower you to make confident decisions
Learn how to evaluate design recommendations from professionals and vendors so you can say yes to what you love—and no to what you don’t. - Inspire your unique style
Together, we’ll explore layouts, textures, colors, and finishes that reflect your personality, lifestyle, and taste.
