Tessa - Interior Designer
Hi, I’m Tessa! I design with a love for the building and its surroundings—because good design should feel like it belongs. I’m all about natural materials, artist-made touches, and layouts that actually make sense (fixing floorplans is my happy place!). I think homes should be full of charm, a little boldness, and a whole lot of personality. Light is everything, and I never pass up a chance to have fun with a space. After all, our homes are the stage for our lives—why not make them interesting enough to keep us inspired every day?
My personal style oscillates between a contemporary, nature-inspired wabi-sabi and an eclectic artist’s beach cottage. I find beauty in letting a natural material shine and adding interesting touches from the amazing artists around us.
I’ve been lucky to work on some incredible projects during my career as an interior designer. The projects that stand out to me the most are the ones where I can fill the home with true personality and bring it to the next level, and where I get to work with the client and spend time to understand their needs, personality and style and even help them realize what that is for themselves. Every different style has elements of beauty, and no one fits into one specific box. I love to push the boundaries between them.

Caitlin- Interior Designer
I believe the spaces we live in should make everyday life feel beautiful. I love creating homes that feel warm, layered, and deeply personal — places where people instantly feel happy and at ease the moment they walk through the door.
My design approach blends new pieces with carefully sourced finds to create spaces that feel collected over time rather than perfectly staged. I’m especially drawn to natural materials that age gracefully and bring a richness and authenticity that man-made materials simply can’t replicate.
My personal style is always evolving. The more I learn and the more beautiful materials I’m surrounded by, the more it makes me want to redesign my entire life. What never changes, though, is the feeling I want a space to have: clean, cozy, full of plants, and designed with clear intention.
While many people assume interior designers focus only on the “pretty things,” the work goes much deeper. I spend a great deal of time studying how families actually live in their homes and collaborating closely with builders and trades to ensure every detail supports the overall vision. For me, the greatest reward is transforming a house into a home that truly reflects the people who live there.

Toni - Interior Designer
My name is Toni, and I’m from Napa, California. I studied Interior Architecture at Chico State, and I believe that our surroundings have a profound impact on our overall well-being. That belief drives my passion for creating interiors that inspire, energize, and excite the people who use them.
My design style is bold, edgy, and eclectic. I love using strong colors, striking patterns, and unexpected details that spark joy. To me, life is too short not to paint your ceiling pink.
I draw inspiration from many places — from consignment shops and antique stores to everyday details that often go unnoticed. I’m passionate about reusing and repurposing materials, as well as incorporating meaningful objects into a space. If you have a newspaper clipping from the 1950s or an heirloom with history, I’ll find a way to weave it into the design so it becomes part of your story.
A lot of this perspective comes from my grandfather, who taught me to look for treasures everywhere. I’m also deeply inspired by the bold artistry of Andy Warhol and the whimsical, distinctive style of Fornasetti. I love blending modern design with a respect for craftsmanship and the character of the past.
Above all, my goal is to design spaces that reflect personality. I like to imagine, “If this person were a room, what would they look like?” — and then bring that vision to life.

Chanelle — Co-Owner, Manager of Operations and Design
Hello, I’m Chanelle, Co-Owner of Bakker Construction, and Manager of Operations and Design. What inspires me most in interior design is the ability to shape how people feel in a space. Exceptional design has the power to transform not only how a home looks, but how it lives, elevating the everyday with beauty, comfort, and purpose. I am drawn to the art of harmonizing form and function, creating environments that feel timeless and sophisticated, while also deeply personal. For me, design extends beyond finishes and furnishings; it is about telling a story, curating experiences, and crafting sanctuaries where people can truly feel at home.Beyond the creative process itself, I am passionate about stewarding the vision of our design work and ensuring that every project reflects uncompromising standards of excellence. I take pride in fostering a culture where our designers’ artistry flourishes, where innovation and craftsmanship unite, and where each client’s vision is elevated into a space of enduring elegance, meaning, and legacy.
