I had the pleasure of working with Tamara on a beach house update in Neskowin. I was working as an…read moreasset manager for a wealth management group, and the house was part of a community of rentals. The rental company decided the interior needed a major update, and took it off the market pending updates. I hired an interior design company to select some refinishes, which we did. But the selections left the home looking and feeling cold and lacking texture. So I brought Tamara in for a re-decoration over the weekend. She skillfully moved and re-arranged the family's existing furnishings, artwork, ceramics, photos, and textiles to improve flow, warm up the space, add texture and layering. I couldn't believe the difference, and I didn't have to spend the trust's money on new furnishings and decorations. A huge win! Thanks, Tamara!

From the owner: With over two decades of experience designing apparel and accessories for global brands like…read moreColumbia Sportswear, Adidas, PUMA, Converse, and New Balance, I’ve developed a sharp eye for detail, color, texture, and function. The same principles that guided me in creating innovative clothing collections now shape my approach with interiors-balancing aesthetics with everyday practicality. Transitioning from fashion to living spaces has allowed me to translate my design sensibility into environments that are not only beautiful but also deeply livable. My background in apparel gives me a unique perspective: I see spaces the way I once saw garments-as opportunities to weave together form, function, and personality.

Bringing in Fox and Fern to help with our basement model was the smartest thing I did when…read moreremodeling our basement. They took a nightmare of a situation and went above and beyond to make it a dream. From the very beginning, Megan and Rachel took on the project with confidence, humor, and professionalism. While Megan and Rachel are wizards at design and listening to client's personal styles, it is important to note that their services go beyond simple aesthetics. They were incredibly involved with the physical design of the space, which included frequent communication with our construction company and subcontractors, ensuring that everything was accomplished according to the plan. This included but was not limited to: designing lighting plans; meticulously designing and measuring cabinetry, and then working with the cabinet maker and subs to ensure a correct fit; swooping in to fix address all the issues, from fixture placements to counter heights to wall lengths. Their attention to detail along the way was truly astounding and their knowledge of home workmanship is unmatched. There was never a problem they couldn't fix or an issue that they couldn't untangle. I know without a doubt that our project would not be as amazing as it is without them. Fox and Fern is an amazing team and I cannot wait until I have another project so I can work with them again. They are the absolute best and would highly recommend their services.

Wow! I have been working with Julia and little by little since I bought my very first house about 6…read moremonths ago. She has been extremely patient with my decision making - always finding options that I feel comfortable with. (It's scary when you are a first time buyer- and realize how much it really is to furnish a home). We started off having a bunch of pre calls- where she got the vibe of me and my girlfriend's taste. And let me tell you .... It's not an easy feat when my style is PNW/ midcentury modern and my gf is English country side/ northeast . But we are SOOOOOOO happy. She sent us a doc of exactly what we were looking for- and even did it in phases. Little by little .... Am I right ? My favorite part- she always helps schedule and makes the delivery process up so smooth, I never have to worry about it. She is so responsive and on it. Thank you so much Julia- for making this semi - stressful task .... Fun!

Kathie and her amazing, dependable team remodeled our small vacation home in Portland...1000 miles from here...and we never had to be there! After one meeting with Kathie, we knew it could happen.

In a few short months, Maughan Design transformed our compartmentalized 1970s house into a spacious, enchanting living space worthy of a magazine spread. They worked effortlessly with our chemical sensitivities, environmental concerns, and personal style. No challenge was too great for Kathie's crew - managing installation of a new type of reclaimed wood floor, designing the copper sink, hood and fireplace with fabricators in Mexico, or sizing custom fireplace doors with an affordable Internet supplier. Every day we were pinching ourselves! Kathie's magic is creating a dream that feels uniquely OURS without us ever lifting a finger! Now we can't wait to come up with another project to experience more Maughan magic...

This was my first time going through design/remodel process and Angie did an excellent job with not only her design vision, but also with managing all the project details and communication. I am so glad I had Angie to manage the multiple contractors. She exceeded my expectations with finding a solution to tie the industrial shelves my boyfriend installed into the rest of the kitchen - the tiles are so unique and impress our guests who have not seen anything like it. We LOVE the accent wall which was her vision. It looks better in reality than what we imagined. We are waiting for a piece to arrive before we can finalize the powder room so I don't have pictures yet. However, I am loving it even unfinished so much more than our ugly old clunky powder room. I will be using Angie's services again when I am ready to remodel our guest and master bath.
