A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I believe the prettiest homes are the ones that feel personal.
Hi, I’m Ally.
I’ve spent more than 20 years working in luxury residential interiors, and I’ve always loved the details that make a home feel special — a welcoming entry, an old piece of furniture with a story and family photos mixed with art.
Collected, comfortable and full of personality. The kind of home where the good china comes out, the pillows don’t have to stay perfectly fluffed, and there’s always a spot to curl up with a book, a cup of coffee or someone you love.
I also live in the real world and I know first hand -life moves fast these days. There are kids, dogs, laundry, backpacks, sports equipment, schedules, busy mornings and rooms that sometimes stop working the way they once did.
My husband and I have seven kids in our blended family, as well as our dog “Penny” and cat “Jake”. We’ve raised kids that are now in their 20’s and still have kids living at home. The youngest is in 3rd grade and is by far the ringleader. A full of life, spunky, messy and hilarious little redhead that keeps us all on our toes.
That’s exactly why I started Pretty Well Placed.
I wanted to bring together two things that are often treated separately: beautiful design and practical everyday living.
I don’t believe you need a perfect home.
I believe you need a home that feels like you and works for you and your family. Welcoming, collected, functional and beautiful enough that you genuinely enjoy being there.
Sometimes that means reorganizing an entire room.
Sometimes it means moving the sofa six inches, taking a few things away and finally finding the right lamp.
And sometimes you just need someone to walk through your door and say:
“I know exactly what we can do here.”
That’s my favorite part.
