Your Renovation Team
Lorna McCartney
PROJECT MANAGER + DESIGNER
Lorna has been passionate about design since renovating her own first home in 2006.
Once a dedicated nurse practitioner, Lorna decided to embark on a new chapter in her life to follow her heart's calling. Her transition from the medical field to renovation and design was driven by a desire to create spaces that inspire and uplift the human spirit.
Lorna's design philosophy is rooted in her love of clean, efficient spaces coupled with serene colorways and laid-back vibes of the coastline. As a mother of two, she understands the importance of creating spaces that are not only beautiful but functional for families. She prides herself in her attention to detail and commitment to quality and believes that every space should reflect a homeowner’s personality and lifestyle.

Mel Kelly
PROJECT MANAGER + DESIGNER
Mel is a contemporary artist turned interior designer here in the Kansas City area. Mel’s passion for design burst into life back in 2011 as she and her husband remodeled their first home. Through that process she began creating custom artwork and eventually selling art for interiors from Maui to NYC.
She strengthened her design portfolio through running her own home decor business (Not Boring Home) from 2019-2022. Her work for Not Boring Home landed her shop in The World of Interiors and House & Garden Magazine.
Now she brings that passion for art and contemporary design to your home. Mel’s personal mission is to help turn your space into a haven where you can be yourself and live your best life.
