It feels like yesterday we were packing lunches, helping with homework, cheering from the sidelines, and watching her grow into the incredible young woman she is today.

Sophia has worked hard, stayed true to herself, shown resilience, kindness, and determination along the way.

As parents, there is no greater privilege than watching your children become who they are meant to be. We are so proud of the person she has become. The future is bright, sweet girl. We love you and are so proud of you.

A well-designed home should feel like BOTH people live there.

In complete contrast to the bold personality of our Kings Mountain dining room and butlery, the primary bedroom was designed as a serene retreat—a space where two very different styles could coexist beautifully.

For him: clean lines, tailored silhouettes, and a modern foundation.

For her: layered textiles, soft drapery, thoughtful embellishments, and a chandelier that absolutely steals the show.

One of the most important parts of our process is creating spaces that reflect everyone who calls it home. Sometimes that means we’re designers. Sometimes we’re investigators uncovering what clients really NEED and want. Sometimes we’re therapists. And occasionally, we’re mediators helping two design visions find common ground.

The magic happens when neither person feels like they compromised—just understood.

Are you Team Clean & Modern or Team Layers & Drama?

TRUST!!! This dining room is one of those spaces that reminds me why trust is everything in custom home design.

When the husband and wife first brought me their builder plans, this room was a source of anxiety, especially for the wife. The footprint felt small, the ceilings felt too tall, and she simply couldn’t envision how this space could ever feel beautiful or inviting. In fact, her first instinct was to lower the ceiling and build a room above it.

I pushed back.

Those soaring windows were one of the most beautiful architectural features of the entire home, and I knew that if we embraced the volume instead of fighting it, this room could become something truly special.

The first thing I changed was the entry. The original opening was just a standard passageway that did absolutely nothing for the room. By creating this oversized arched opening, the dining room became a destination—something the homeowners and every guest would experience the moment they entered the home.

From there, I designed simple but substantial wood beams to honor the husband’s clean, rustic aesthetic. We added architectural paneling with a high cap line to bring visual weight to the walls and help the room feel grounded despite its height.

The wife grew up in a Victorian home, and I wanted this room to feel like a subtle nod to her childhood. That’s where the custom-scaled vintage wallpaper came in. It brought history, personality, and softness to the architecture while feeling completely unique to their story.

Then came the color.

I fought hard for this rich blackberry aubergine shade. It was a huge leap of faith, especially for the husband. Deep, moody color wasn’t initially what either of them imagined for this space. But once it was on the walls, everything clicked. Today, i

There’s something special about seeing the plan come together and knowing it’s going to completely transform the way a family lives in their home.

For this renovation, we’re wrapping the room in a rich, beautiful blue—from the custom built-ins to the coffered ceiling—creating a space that feels equal parts sophisticated, cozy, and timeless. The warm wood tones keep it grounded, while the architectural details add the kind of character that makes a room unforgettable.

Our client has been waiting a long time to create a home that truly works for her family, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring this vision to life.

So, are you team bold color in a home office, or do you prefer to keep it light and neutral?

The best spaces tell more than one story.

From the architectural phase, this custom home was designed around his and her distinct personalities and aesthetics—and this wet bar might be the perfect example of where they meet. For her: color, character, and curated display space to showcase the pieces she loves. For him: function-first details like a beverage fridge, ice maker, and a bold modern wallpaper that brings just the right amount of edge.

The magic of great design isn’t choosing one style over another—it’s creating a space where both people feel seen. When done well, the result is something neither could have imagined on their own.

This is why we start with understanding how our clients live, entertain, and connect with their homes long before the finishes are selected.

Which detail would you claim as your own—the display shelves or the beverage station?

And if you’re planning a custom home and want a space that reflects your story, follow along for more behind-the-design moments.

Memorial Day weekend is feeling extra special this year. ❤️

We’re heading off for some much needed family time before my youngest graduates high school next week… and honestly, I’m still trying to process how we got here so fast. Watching her grow into the amazing young woman she’s becoming has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. She’s such a miracle and joy!!!

This weekend is all about soaking up the moments together — a little shopping, a lot of laughs, and making memories before this next big chapter begins.

And while we’re enjoying this time together, I’m also holding close the true meaning of Memorial Day — honoring and remembering the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Grateful today and every day. Hug your people a little tighter this weekend.

How We Select the Ideal Backsplash to Elevate Your Kitchen Design

When it comes to kitchen design, the backsplash is far more than just a finishing detail. It’s a defining element that can either harmonize the space or become a striking focal point.

This bathroom is what happens when clean lines meet quiet luxury. 🤍

We paired classic stone, handcrafted zellige tile, and warm white oak cabinetry to create a space that feels polished without trying too hard. The contrast of the dark flooring and countertops grounds the room while the layered textures keep everything soft, warm, and timeless.

A freestanding tub framed by full glass? Always a yes.

This is the kind of bathroom that still feels fresh 10 years later — because good design is never about trends, it’s about balance.

What detail are you choosing first: the zellige tile or the white oak vanity?

Architectural and Interior design isn’t just about “pretty pillows” and perfectly fluffed throws.

Behind every well-designed space is strategy, functionality, problem-solving, and yes… a little bit of magic.

We’re busting 5 of the biggest myths about working with an interior designer because great design should feel approachable, personal, and actually work for your lifestyle.

Spoiler alert:
✨ You do not need a mansion.
✨ You do not need an unlimited budget.
✨ And Pinterest alone will not save you from ordering the wrong size sofa.

At Susan Hill Design Group, we believe thoughtful design is for real life — whether you’re redesigning one room or building your dream home from the ground up.

Which myth have YOU believed before?

And if you’ve been thinking about hiring a designer, save this post for later or send it to someone currently deep in a renovation spiral.

This kitchen was designed for the kind of entertaining where everyone somehow ends up gathered in the kitchen anyway.

The goal for this renovation and addition was simple: create a space where both homeowners could cook comfortably at the same time — without the inevitable elbow bumping at the island. A dedicated beverage bar lets guests help themselves, while the tucked-away coffee station keeps early mornings calm and functional before the house wakes up.

Layered with rich cabinetry, warm brass, natural wood tones, and enough counter space to actually host with ease, this kitchen proves that beautiful spaces should work just as hard as they look good doing it.

And yes… the wine fridge was considered essential storage!!!

Would you rather have a hidden coffee station or a full entertaining bar in your dream kitchen?
