Interior Designer und Raumausstatter in Ashburn

“Our home interior had not been touched in 10 years. Pierre was recommended to us and we are most thankful to have had his help. He is a classy guy and his perspective of color choices to each room was pitch perfect. We are thrilled with the look and feel of each room. Kim and I feel he has elevated our entire home. He was also cost conscious about our selections, so every choice was first class but not over the top, price wise. Would highly recommend him for any residential interior or exterior project. Feel free to contact me for additional discussion about Pierre, am happy to do so.”

“My family and I recently completed a significant renovation of our Capitol Hill row house, and we are thrilled with the results achieved by the interior design team at Storie Collective led by Sara Swabb. Before we began the project, we knew we needed a professional to ensure the project was cohesive and done right the first time. After a good deal of research of local design professionals, we engaged Storie Collective for an in-home consultation. We were immediately confident that Sara and her team had the experience and vision to help us create something special — we were right! As a middle-class family with limited means, we were initially concerned that we couldn’t afford Storie Collective; however, Sara was able to bring in vendors, trades, and contractors with a range of price points that made our budget work. I am absolutely convinced that we saved money because the front-end design process was so precise and methodical, which ultimately helped us avoid costly oversights and missed opportunities. Sara’s “no job too great or too small” approach was comforting, and following completion of our kitchen, primary bath, and powder room renovation, we asked Storie Collective to return to redesign and refresh our living room. The living room has been transformed from a bland box into an inviting, dark green lounge worthy of countless conversations (and cocktails!) between family and friends. The coffered ceiling Sara designed has completely changed the feel of the living room, and the lighting choices help pull it all together to make the room entirely purposeful. Having lived in our renovated home now for a few months, my wife and I remain grateful to Sara and her team for creating something enduringly beautiful. We can’t wait until our next project with Storie Collective!”

“When education, career and marriage drew me to Southern California from the bucolic, rolling landscape of Middleburg, Virginia 28 years ago, I somehow new that one day I would return. I met Carl Williamson 23 years ago when we engaged his services for our cliff side home in Malibu, California. He created a sun drenched California dream interior all those years ago that we still enjoy today. Fast forward to 2022 when the opportunity to purchase my childhood home in Middleburg, VA presented itself. I did not hesitate to call Carl. We embarked on a nearly two year journey together. Carl worked hand in hand with our Architect and Building Contractor as the home needed extensive updating. Carl insured that our overall design vision was translated perfectly by selecting all finishes associated with the renovation. Carl then developed breathtaking interior spaces that unfolded to honor the homes historic and storied past while adding modern elements which made our home comfortable, collected and current. Thank you Carl for writing a new chapter for this nostalgic, heirloom property. Your vision, talent, professionalism and thoughtfulness will remain with us for many, many, years to come. My husband and I will build happy memories with our daughters in this very personal vacation home you created just for us.”
