Helping vibrant women create their beautiful empty nest
Whether you live in a long-loved family home or plan to downsize, this is the perfect time to reimagine your empty nest!
Serving the Chicago North Shore and Beyond
As a mom of two amazing boys, I get it! It can be bittersweet to watch your kids move out of the house but it can also be an exciting opportunity to create a home that will be the beautiful foundation for your next chapter. You want to shine...so does your home. Let’s do this together!
Meet Ann!
Hi, I’m Ann Cariola, a super enthusiastic, resourceful and organized interior decorator who helps like-minded women in the North Chicago suburbs create beautiful homes that bring joy to friends and family. Although I hail from the great Pacific Northwest, I have lived in the Chicago area since meeting my husband 30 years ago. I have to admit, my original plan was to move back to my beloved Portland, but Northbrook quickly became a wonderful home and a great place to raise our 2 boys. I am now navigating life as an empty nester, living my life-long dream of helping clients create homes that are uniquely beautiful, meaningful and support the families that live there.
“I worked with Ann on a long overdue master bedroom project. She was amazing! She was able to execute my vision and I am so happy when I go to sleep and wake up each morning in my new space. Ann was extremely enthusiastic and went above and beyond to keep the job on schedule and to get it done. I look forward to working with her again when I am ready for my next project.”

Custom Pillows
In our humble opinion, pillows are the heavy lifters in design. We love to take your existing decor as inspiration and source fabrics for that one of a kind touch to your room. Your pillows will elevate your room from nice to truly special!
Nothing is better than that hug at the end of the project when I know for sure that my clients absolutely love their newly feathered nest, knowing they can welcome friends and family with joy and confidence.
Let’s work together to create a beautiful space you will love!
“Ann is an extraordinarily gifted and versatile designer. She has a great sense of style, and makes playful and practical work together.”
