Where We Work
New Bern to North Myrtle Beach
We’re local designers who know these towns, their light and the way people here live. A quick guide to the areas we serve:
-
1
New Bern & the Crystal Coast
Craven · Carteret · Pamlico · Jones
Historic New Bern sits where the Neuse and Trent rivers meet, with a walkable downtown and deep roots. It’s also an NC Certified Retirement Community. Toward the ocean, Morehead City and Beaufort bring harbor-town charm, and Havelock is home to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.
-
2
Jacksonville & Onslow County
Onslow
Home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and a community used to welcoming new neighbors. Nearby Sneads Ferry and the Topsail-area beaches offer a quieter, salt-air pace.
-
3
Wilmington & Cape Fear
New Hanover · Pender
A historic river city with a lively downtown, close to Wrightsville, Carolina and Kure beaches, with Hampstead just up the coast. It’s a growing job market, too: a new Amazon fulfillment center opened in 2026 with more than 1,000 jobs.
-
4
Brunswick County
Leland · Southport · Oak Island · Holden Beach · Ocean Isle Beach · Sunset Beach · Calabash
North Carolina’s fastest-growing county from 2020 to 2024, and the home of Anchor & Ash. Many new communities are taking shape here, including 55+ neighborhoods, alongside classic beach towns.
-
5
Columbus County & North Myrtle Beach
Columbus County, NC · Horry County, SC
Small-town, inland North Carolina living to the west, and the beaches of North Myrtle Beach just across the South Carolina line.
Your First 90 Days at Home
A simple path from boxes to beautifully settled
Step 1
Listen
An in-home or virtual consultation. Tell us how you want to live, what you’re bringing and what you love. We can start while you’re still out of state.
Step 2
Plan
A floor plan for your new home and a clear list of what to keep, sell or donate, and what to buy, so moving day goes smoothly.
Step 3
Design & Source
Furniture, lighting, rugs, art and finishes selected for your space, style and budget, blended with the pieces you already own.
Step 4
Install & Settle In
We place, style and finish each room, so you can walk in, unpack less and feel at home sooner.
Still out of state? Consultations can start virtually, using your floor plan and listing photos, so your plan is ready before you arrive.
A Note from Jaime & Rebecca
We know what it’s like to start somewhere new
“Before North Carolina, I called Louisiana, California and Utah home, so I know the mix of excitement and overwhelm that comes with a big move. Our job is to make the home part feel easy.” Jaime Hunter
“As the owner of two vacation rentals in Brunswick County, I’ve set up homes here from the ground up. We’d love to help you do the same, at whatever pace feels right.” Rebecca Willi
Questions from Newcomers
Good to know
Can we start before we move?
Yes. Many newcomers begin with a virtual consultation while they’re still out of state. Send us your floor plan or listing photos, and we can plan furniture placement and what to bring before the moving truck is booked.
Do you work with our builder or realtor?
Happily. We coordinate with builders on selections and timelines, and with realtors on staging and move-in. We aren’t affiliated with any builder, so our advice is simply about what’s right for you.
Do you help with just a few rooms?
Of course. Some clients want a whole home ready on move-in day; others start with the living room or a guest room. Hourly design and fixed-fee consultations make it easy to begin small.
What areas do you serve?
The North Carolina coast from New Bern to North Myrtle Beach, SC: Craven, Carteret, Pamlico, Jones, Onslow, Pender, New Hanover, Brunswick and Columbus counties, plus Horry County, SC.
