Interior Decorator, Ruthie Staalsen

After 10 years in business, I'm known for creating luxurious, relaxed homes that bring families together. Growing up overseas has opened my eyes to new ideas and has inspired my design eye. I have expensive taste but like to create that look on a budget. I am passionate about all things filled with character and charm and have an eye for seeing beauty in all things. This blog is an extension to my website "my voice" and is where I share my ideas, design transformations & inspiration. I'm delighted you've joined me!

Quoted by Designer Bunny Williams

"I believe that people should celebrate the wear, scratches, and other imperfections that they see. This is especially true with antiques. I mean, if you were 200 years old and been kicked around for decades, you’d be beat up too. But that’s what creates the character, uniqueness, and personality of a piece. I don’t think that that visible wear and tear makes objects less desirable. I think they make them better and more interesting. Great interiors aren’t the ones where everything is new. Just the opposite."
