And Away We Grow!
MEET MIA
Our team is growing! Mia LeNoir joined Paige Williams Interior Design as an associate interior designer this spring -- and just in the knick of time with the O'More Show House, a growing client roster and moving into a new office space.
With a passion for creating unique and inspiring spaces, Mia is enthusiastic and dedicated to her work. She enjoys working closely with clients to design interiors that reflects their personal style and vision.
In 2014, Mia graduated from High Point University in North Carolina with a Bachelor of Science in interior design. After graduation, she worked as the design director for a fabric company, overseeing fabric development and designing their showroom for the International Textile Market Association. With her background in textiles, Mia loves mixing textures and patterns to give each space character.
When she isn’t designing, Mia spends her time traveling, enjoying the outdoors and exploring local coffee shops with her fiancé.
“Hi everyone!
This month, I’m taking over Paige’s newsletter to say hello! I’m so excited to be in Nashville and doing what I love most: designing beautiful spaces in a beautiful city. I’m looking forward to meeting and working with each of you sometime soon.
— Mia”
That's a Wrap!
O'More Show House 2016 was a success!
The historic Franklin home featured 22 spaces designed by top local designers, including Paige Williams and her fellow O'More College of Design alumni.
Paige took the front hallway from an incomplete shell to a warm and welcoming alcove by emphasizing the Craftsman style of the house and mixing Mid-Century modern wood elements with pops of color throughout. The house, which is approximately 5,600 square feet, is now up for sale.
All profits from the show house directly benefit O'More College of Design. Recently, proceeds from the Show House were used to renovate the historic berry home on campus to house the Interior Design Program.
“Hi everyone,
Six months of preparation, two weeks of Showtime and countless hours later, the 2016 Show House has officially wrapped! When proposing my design for this space, I wanted it to be like walking through an art gallery: the raw wood pieces, the original painting of downtown Franklin, the funky-cool mirror made out of pencils by yours truly... I hope visitors to the house got a taste for the different levels of art in and around Nashville. Can’t wait to start my next project!
— Paige”

You're Invited!
Make plans to visit the O'More Show House!
As featured in House Home & Garden Magazine, the historic Franklin home will feature 22 spaces designed by top local designers, including Paige Williams and her fellow O'More College of Design alumni.
“The inspiration for my design concept stems from the feeling I get when walking the streets of downtown Franklin on a warm spring day. The trees are blooming bringing life and color to unique historical homes. The old brick, wood and concrete in each structure gives me a warm feeling of being in a small town full of inspiration, so I’ve incorporated that feeling into the space.””
All About Windows
Pretty & Practical: Dressing Your Windows
Window treatments aren't something you want to buy right off the shelf, especially if you have tall ceilings, nearby neighbors or any window outside of the standard double hung setup. With hundreds of options for styles, fabrics, tie-backs, the details can be daunting. Here's what to know before dressing your windows:
Functionality is important. Like with any aspect of a room, it's essential to think about what purpose your window treatments will serve. Whether that's keeping out sunlight, increasing privacy or visually adding height to a room. It's important to think about the application before making a purchase.
They should be gorgeous too. Practicality doesn't mean frumpy. A room with a lot of windows has a lot of hard edges and points that can make a space feel sterile. Fabric softens those edges and can make a room feel warmer depending on the fabric. Patterns in varying proportions and colors add other texture and personality to a room when used correctly.
It's an investment. You don't want to do this every year. Picking the perfect panels can take a bit of time and money, so it's important to know what goals you want to accomplish before you get started. In the end, it will be worth the investment when the whole room comes together in a perfect combination of beauty and practicality.
“Hi everyone,
Window treatments can seem like minor details, but they play a big role in a room’s overall design. I like to think of dressing your windows like you dress yourself. You typically dress for your body type and for the activities you’ll be doing that day. The same goes for your windows – visually appealing and efficiency make the perfect combo!
