It all started with a Facebook Marketplace conversation. I was selling my parents' vintage crystal champagne coupe glasses--half wondering if anyone these days would even recognize what they were. Then I met Rona.
Not only did she immediately identify them, but she understood what they stood for. Because coupe users? They're not just sipping bubbly--they're making a statement. Unlike the common flute, a coupe is a confident departure from the expected. It's not rebellious--it's elevated. It speaks to those who appreciate curated design elements, intentionality, and a certain vintage sophistication.
Well, it's no wonder. It turned out that Rona was, in fact, in the design business--and not just in it, but defining it.
After touring 3 of their homes on the Newport Harbor home tour, I've honestly never seen intention and design so seamlessly woven together. None of them could have been more uniquely different, yet equally alluring.
It was like my first high school dance, where I had no idea which girl to ask because each girl was uniquely beautiful. I was in love with all 3 (alas, I ended up with none of them... something about me being too unattractive and not buff enough... but that's another story............ I hated highshool..... and those snooty Mean Girls..... wait.... sorry... I'm digressing...)
ANYWHO....
If you're looking for an interior designer who somehow manages to read your mind, elevate your taste, and make your home feel like you, but cooler--you need to meet Rona and her incredible team at Grace Blu Interior Design.
Rona didn't just stumble into this career--she practically grew up in it. Her grandmother owned a furniture store in Pennsylvania, and while other kids were decorating their Trapper Keepers (I'm totally dating myself with that reference....), Rona was decorating her treehouse. It's in her DNA.
No templates. No one-size-fits-all. Every project feels deeply personal because her team spends the time to actually get to know you. They channel your energy, your story. They build you..... if... well... if you were a house. read more
