About

In 2018, Deidre started Studio Day to work with people that are passionate about preserving the historical nature of their homes, while updating to accommodate modern functionality. Growing up in a home over 100 years old influenced Deidre's passion for preserving historic interiors. Tagging along to salvage yards as her parents remodeled their 1902 home, Deidre would take in the stories that each of the salvaged pieces expressed.

"Just had my consultation yesterday and I'm still processing all of the info from it! We choose window coverings, furniture, tables, fabrics to use, color stories and the placement of it all in my slightly awkward living room. I'm especially loving the recap that comes with everything we discussed -outlined, pictured and with links! This was an amazing consult!! Thank you Deidre - it was just the direction I was looking for!"

"Really enjoyed my call with Deidre, we were able to cover so much in such a short amount of time. I now have direction on how to move forward with ideas on furniture pieces, rugs, wallpaper and more. I will revisit for a phase two with her to continue elevating my home and design style.

"I loved working with Deidre in my very first Expert session. She had really great ideas and quickly understood the style I was going for. I left the session ready to move forward with decorating my spaces. I found the links provided useful, but some of them lead to items that were out of stock. In cases like that, it would be helpful to have a few backup ideas. I'd love to do another session in the future!! "

"My hour with Deidre was so productive and helpful in planning my upcoming bathroom remodel! She helped me create a functional layout and gave great source and style suggestions. Honestly still shocked we were able to accomplish so much in such a short time. Would 100% book again! "

"Our session with Deidre exceeded expectations on every level. We came with questions to finalize/tweak finishes for a mudroom, kitchen/dining room AND bathroom remodel. I was amazed how much we got through in an hour. She nudged us out of our comfort zone (in the best possible way), introduced us to new sources and even created a second concept around preserving our existing 1950/60s cabinets which we originally planned to replace. Highly recommend!"
