Jennifer’s love for interior design first started as a young child as her mom also shared the passion of creating beautiful spaces. One of Jennifer’s first projects was designing her 2002 University of Mississippi dorm room. She later graduated Ole Miss with a degree in Art. As one always finds it hard to leave oxford, Jennifer married her college sweetheart and they made Oxford their home. As a designer Jennifer likes to transform her style to fit the needs of each client. She loves the look of mixing traditional with fresh new modern pieces. Some of her favorite projects are those that push her out of her comfort zone as a designer. She loves a challenge and to see those projects come to life. Russell has called Oxford home since 2002 and currently resides with her husband, John and two boys, John Alden and Sumner.

Carly Gray’s love for all things design started a young age. Carly has worked from the ground up to build her design-business knowledge. She graduated with honors from the Residential Design program at the University of Memphis.

After working as a Junior Designer at a local design firm, then learning the retail side of the design industry, Gray made the transition to building her own client base. Her attention to detail, love of color, and deep appreciation for quality pieces have served her well in her design career. She believes in getting to know each client and designing around their individual needs, with both beauty and function in mind. For the past several years, Gray has served as a Secretary and Treasurer of the local chapter of Interior Design Society.
