About
Hi! Welcome and I am happy you are here. I am Misty, a wife, mother, and creative soul who has experienced almost 5 generations of hard life lessons with hopefully a little grace, resilience, and a lot of sarcasm (defensive mechanism y’all)! And somehow I’m still standing, although at my age I prefer to sit.
I’m a mother of three, and know all too well the joys and challenges that come with parenthood without losing your sense of self. My children have been my greatest inspiration, driving me (often times not by choice) to be the best-ish (let’s be honest here) version of myself I can be.
Unfortunately, life had a cruel twist in store for me when I lost one of my children in 2012, my youngest and only son Xander Kahle who was 4 1/2 , to a drowning accident. This heart-wrenching moment and years following shook me to the core, changed who I was and would forever be, but I refused to let it break my spirit. My son would have wanted me to thrive, not just survive, and my two girls needed me. I found solace in my passion for art, design, drowning prevention advocacy, organ donation support and my creative soul which allowed me to express my emotions and slowly heal. Life is hard, there’s no nice way around it, but the journey can still be beautiful.
I have been a professional makeup artist, high end fashion retail merchandiser, muralist, jewelry designer and now spent last few years in restaurant marketing & design. I have a keen eye for style, color and beauty in the unconventional sense that I think sets me apart. As much as I’ve enjoyed and learned from every career, nothing could compare to the joy of being a mother. But I always knew I needed other outlets to be the best mom I could. As us women know, we’re “all the things”.
My spirit spoke again and I am designing interiors for commercial & residential spaces. I use my myriad of skills and experience to create captivating designs that appeal to the senses and leave a lasting impression. I specialize in creating spaces that bring out the best in their owners, reflecting their personality and lifestyle. I focus on creating spaces that are comfortable, beautiful, and livable. My designs are thoughtful and intentional, with a playful edge that encourage my clients to take chances and express themselves. I do not follow traditional design “rules” and I encourage my clients to think outside the box. From beach house to modern (or any style in between), I am ready to help youcreate a space that truly speaks to you.
This journey has been filled with countless twists and turns (many unasked for) but through it all, I try to remain true to myself. My love for my family, passion for art & design make this the perfect time to connect my Jane of all trades skill set and embark on my own once again. I hope to be an inspiration to do whatever you want in this life because we have no idea what tomorrow will bring. And I can bet we’ll be fast friends when we’re done with your space.
Love & Light,
Misty
