Since 2002 I've been creating calm and clutter free homes for my clients. As a mother, small businessperson, and two dog owner, I create interiors that work for real people, without sacrificing beauty and creativity. I design lovely spaces, where people want to relax, laugh and entertain family and friends.
I look forward to hearing about your interior design project and answering your questions. Whether it's a home refresh you need, a complete turnaround, or advice on an upcoming remodel, here is your starting point. We will talk ideas and possibilities for all your spaces during our 60 to 90 minutes together face to face, or via technology!
I find most homes do not need staging items in order to sell: they need the homeowners' belongings curated and carefully arranged to create eye-catching photos for the MLS. I do not stock furniture or accessories. My assistant and I roll up our sleeves and move furniture, art, accessories, streamlining as we go to get a home ready for photos.

Ann is an absolute joy to work with! Our new space is beautiful, speaks to our aesthetic and ties in two rooms that previously felt disconnected. Ann took our oddly shaped space and through changing of layout and updating furnishings created a shared family / casual dining room space that we love. If you choose to work with Ann, and you should, you are guaranteed to work with a professional who strives to give you the room you want at the price you are comfortable with and without sacrificing style or function. I can’t wait to work with Ann on my next space!

Ann has help us very successfully with two big projects. First she guided us in getting our “to big for just us” house ready for a quick and easy sale. With her input we were able to optimize colors and floor plans to make our house look it’s very best to potential buyers. Secondly she has been such an asset in helping us to turn our new house into a home we have fallen in love with. It’s beautiful and comfortable as well as reflects our family’s taste and style. We could t be happier with her professionalism and responsiveness. We highly recommend her.

Ann has an incredible eye and can involve you in the process as much as you desire or take your taste and likes/dislikes and present very viable options for you to choose from as a convenience and time saver. My new kitchen/family room was not even recognizable to close friends once the redesign and install was completed thanks to Ann's partnership with and recommendation of our contractor.

We had never worked with a designer before and our real estate agent recommended Ann for a big remodel project. I'm so glad we took her advice. Ann is fantastic. She is calm, considers what her client wants, and comes up with great suggestions. When we had issues with our contractor, Ann was a tireless advocate and a huge help in getting things back on track. During a nationwide appliance shortage, Ann was even able to connect us with a salesperson who found and delivered almost all our appliances within a week. Ann is worth every penny!

We love working with Ann @ Just The Thing Decorating! She helped us pick out the best furniture and gave us an all around new look for our family room, new carpeting and paint colors throughout our home. She knows how to put the right colors and materials together to create the perfect space. We will definitely contact Ann again for more of our home renovating and decorating needs.

We used Just the Thing Decorating for a project that we just completed. Ann was the most professional and focused member of the project, which was critical. Not only did she design a beautiful bathroom, she ensured that the details we discussed were translated into the actual work done. We have our next project starting soon and Ann will be our designer for that one as well.

We asked Ann to help us remodel our downstairs. We absolutely love what she has done and so excited to enjoy the space for the next few years. Ann takes responsibility for the project and her creative touch hits the mark. From handling the general contractor to making decorating decisions and final touches.

As a real estate agent I have worked with Ann to help homes prepare for listing. I always appreciated Ann’s professionalism, great communication skills and the outcome for my clients. This led me to hire Ann for my personal home to bring the needed items to a bland palette. Ann had an amazing sense of patience and calm while listening to what it was my husband and I were looking for in each space. After hearing us out she would then ask key questions to narrow down what it was we really really wanted.
What I especially liked about Ann is she did not try to impose her desires. Rather, she gave

We had the opportunity to work with Ann after purchasing our new home in Southlake. She is wonderful! She helped us select furniture, drapery and select artwork location for pieces we already owned. Ann was quick to learn our style and needs. Our place looks wonderful and we highly recommend Ann.
