Erica Yeary

I remember finding joy in design and I liked seeing the vision I would create in my head come to life. My mom always kept our home beautiful, neat, and clean and she must have passed that on to me.

I was always one of those people who would get bored with how my house looked, so I would rearrange furniture, swap out accent pillows or lamps because I saw it as an easy and inexpensive fix to get a new look. I would also spend hours flipping through furniture and design magazines (back in the 90’s and early 2000’s) just in awe of how someone could create such lovely spaces. Through the years, friends and family would complement my home and how it looked.

In 2014, while living in Waco, I was asked by Joanna Gaines to help with special projects for the HGTV show, Fixer Upper. I had worked with Joanna on a few prior projects, and this seemed to be a great fit for me as I was already working full time in Hospice and a single mom. For the next 4 years, I collaborated with her and the design team on small projects for the show. It was also during that time, I began having clients hire me for design work, help pick paint colors, furniture selection, and redo rooms in their house.

In 2017, after living in Waco for 25 years, our family moved to Houston, Texas. This is when my design business took off!! Within in months of our move, I found myself working on multiple design projects. As I would complete a project, the next one would begin.

Word of mouth began to spread my business. I began to focus more on interior decorating and design elements involving new construction, remodeling both residential and commercial. With lots of prompting from friends, family, and clients, I finally decided to launch a website and social media page. If you know me, this is a BIG step, but I do feel like it is a great way to show prospective clients work I have done.

Currently, I have grown into a team of 3 who work alongside me averaging 15 -20 projects spanning from Houston, Waco, Dallas, and out of state at any given time. I have found great joy in helping others find their “admired home” and look forward to the next client that comes out way!
