Passion For Your Place
 
 
 

Stephanie Schaeffer

Owner and Principal Designer

As a dreamy nine-year-old, I spent endless hours designing fully furnished underground condos for prairie dogs. Frivolous as that was, it should have been a clue as to where my creative inspirations might one day lead. My path would take me through other rewarding professions and adventures. But, I’ve always had design projects of one kind or another in the works, whether home, fashion or art-related, and always with the objective of achieving visual beauty and balance.
Prior to receiving my degree in Interior Design, I received degrees in both music and psychology, preparing me to be an empathetic listener and a creative problem-solver. My years managing programs for top tech companies gave me the vital skills of effectively communicating with clients and contractors, and maintaining schedules. My mission is to create designs which are not only functional and stylish, but will ultimately make my clients feel that the space is uniquely theirs. A well-designed interior should make us feel like we're hearing our favorite song, or eating our favorite food. Comfort and bliss - these are the pleasures good design can bring.

 “I was so thankful to meet a true professional like Stephanie. She helped me through EVERY step of the process, as little and as much as I wanted. Some things I was good at, some things I wasn't. She took control when I was floundering, and stepped back at design aspects I wanted to handle. She never steered me away from my own style. She kept me focused, as there are so many choices and decisions one can make in home design. She asked me about my ideas, sent me options via email/text, met me at stores, AND worked with my contractor every step of the way to clarify and problem solve.”
