ABOUT
A Legacy of Stories, Told Through Design
Founded by Alexandra Cary, our story is one that spans continents, cultures, and generations, creating spaces that embody the essence of a well-collected home.
Childhood Infused with Design
Alexandra's journey began between the sun-drenched sands of Dubai and the elegant grandeur of The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. Her summers spent roaming the resort's Dorothy Draper-designed halls left an indelible mark, igniting a passion for the bold colors, playful patterns, and glamorous touches that would become her signature.
A Global Narrative, Woven into Homes
From the bustling fabric district of Satwa in Dubai to hidden bazaars in Marrakech, her travels across over 50 countries fueled her love for collecting unique pieces with stories to tell.
Each trinket, textile, and furniture find becomes a part of her designs, representing exotic escapes and personal connections.

High Meets Low, Art Meets Soul
With a keen eye, Alexandra orchestrates a symphony of styles. High-end pieces melt seamlessly with vintage treasures, contemporary lines flow with traditional motifs, and every detail reflects the individuality of her clients.
Her aesthetic is a curated journey through personal narratives, where every object sparks a conversation, and every space feels like a warm embrace.
From Coast to Coast, Crafting First Impressions
Alexandra's design magic has graced homes across the globe, from the sleek penthouses of New York City to the sun-kissed villas of Palm Springs. She has brought her vibrant touch to the Hamptons, the historic halls of The Greenbrier Sporting Club, and cozy Connecticut retreats, leaving a trail of beautifully bespoke spaces in her wake.
