Who We Are

a luxury kitchen design firm constantly inspired by the natural beauty of the chesapeake bay

Rooted in a deep appreciation for historical architecture, I draw inspiration from classic design elements to create spaces that stand the test of time. With a passion for culinary arts, I infuse my designs with the warmth and functionality of a well-loved kitchen, where baking and cooking become a cherished experience. I believe in the transformative power of curated environments, crafting homes that elevate daily living and enhance overall quality of life.

Owner & Founder

kristina anne schmidt

Since childhood, I've been captivated by the world around me, sketching stories in art class and drawing inspiration from the historical architecture that surrounds us. Colonial America, with its rich narratives and timeless elegance, has always held a special place in my heart.

Growing up, my passion for art and the outdoors blossomed, leading me to infuse my designs with the textures and hues of the beach. Each grain of sand and ripple of water speaks to me, guiding my color palettes and creating spaces that resonate with tranquility and natural beauty.

But my love affair with history never faded. Historical homes, with their tales of bygone eras, continue to inspire me. I see them not just as relics of the past, but as living, breathing testaments to the enduring power of design. Their elegance and grace serve as a constant wellspring of inspiration for my modern designs, blending the best of yesterday with the innovations of today.
