History
Established in 2023.
Kelley Dowling founded Balm in 2023. A girl whose parents let her choose pepto bismol pink as a bedroom wall color.
Then a 20-something newlywed, Kelley saved $700 to decorate her first apartment, but watched the sum dwindle to nothing, with no more than some plants and a kitchen table to show for it.
Then a new mom, who used the baby crazies to take free courses on decorating and designed their tiny apartment to stay sane through the doldrums of a colicky baby.
Then decorating spaces for friends and family…just for fun at first, and then for more.
Now for you.
Whether you’ve been through a lot or a little, or maybe you’ve never had a home you’ve loved, we’re all going through something. We'll be your trusted home friend. We want to help you learn your own design instincts and cultivate a space you love on whatever budget you’re bringing to the table. Seriously, if your room budget is $200, let’s get started.
Meet the Business Owner: Kelley D.
While my professional background is in government and nonprofits, I've had the best design education a person could ask for: making every mistake a person can in a narrow field and setting up house in seven different homes and apartments since 2015.
I now live in Georgetown, Texas with my family. In my free time, I volunteer at the Caring Place in Georgetown, enjoy exploring new cities with a travel buddy, and am a bit of a coffee connoisseur.
