Meet Lea.

Designer & Owner

After giving up a career in the financial world to raise her three children, Lea’s second act is in the world of interior decorating. 

Lea has always had a good eye for design, hence the loosely translated Greek name “kalo mati”, and she has honed her natural ability redecorating residences and creating very custom and unique weddings for her daughters.

Lea’s current style is a fusion of vintage and modern, helping people more efficiently refresh existing spaces or creating new ones.

She has a passion for choosing just the right floral arrangement, tablescape or art, and loves to incorporate those elements into projects in the home or for any event large or small. She also carries her love for interiors to the outside and has a good eye for landscaping design. Lea is happiest when seeing the transformation come to life, having created something magical.
