When dreaming up new spaces for her clients, our owner and primary designer, Renee Smith always keeps her design philosophy close to heart, 

“Refined living for timeless memories”  

It’s a vision that she developed after watching her mother design beautiful spaces for others throughout her childhood.  Now, as a mother herself, she understands and appreciates the value in surrounding others with beauty in their everyday lives.  

“When my clients think back to their most cherished times with family and friends, I hope the details that we selected together for their homes add warmth and richness to their memories.”

Upon returning home to Tampa after nearly 20 years in Nashville, Smith decided that she wanted to dedicate her time to collaborating with clients to customize their homes for their most precious memories to unfold.  Her years in the South fostered her talent and deepened her appreciation for blending antique with new to create spaces that exude timelessness, hospitality and grace.  

“I love giving life to my clients’ dreams for their homes.  When designing our home, one of my musts was adding a Dutch door in the back.  I want nothing more than to hear children playing in our backyard.  I want our family and friends to peek their heads in for a cocktail (or two?) and to join us for dinner. I love a house that invites you in!”

Smith prides herself on crafting spaces with luxurious textiles, attractive finishes and polished details to achieve layers that lend freshness and elegance to each room.  She believes that it is equally important for her designs to be one of a kind and functional for everyday.  Her passion for design and her love for creating an aesthetic that is individualized and beautiful to each client sets Smith apart.

When not at work, you can find her alongside her husband, at the baseball field, ballet studio or lacrosse field, watching their children do what they love most, or walking their beloved Swiss Mountain dog, George.
