About Courtney

An artist at heart since childhood, Courtney Gaynier fell in love with painting while studying abroad in college. She had the privilege of attending a summer program in Florence, Italy, watercoloring her way across Tuscany. In 2006, she earned her BFA in Graphic Design and worked professionally for 10 years as a publication designer and art director in New York City and Boston.

Eventually settling on Cape Cod with her husband and son, Courtney found her true passion again. Inspired by the ocean and surroundings, she seeks out soft pastels and free-flowing textures in both her seascapes and abstract pieces.

The "Gaynier"

Living on the coast is Courtney's inspiration for her work. "I like to think of my paintings as love letters to the sea,” she explains. When creating the rug for her living room, the focus was on serene, coastal vibes. Courtney loves to layer textures and patterns with colors that evoke a feeling of calm. This traditional style oushak features sea tones of navy blue, periwinkle, light pink, light green, and white.

The "Rosalie"

Courtney loves that each piece of art has a story or purpose behind it. Her home is filled with her own art in addition to pieces she has collected over time. Every room is exciting, not boring, and her kids and husband love it!

The “Rosalie” is named after Courtney’s daughter who joined their family during the same crazy season their house was purchased. Designed for their keeping room, through which guests enter, Courtney wanted it to be a fun, welcoming rug. This room is also used for folding laundry and the kids' play area, so the rug needed to serve as a foundation for all aspects of life. The colors in the rug were based on the Lulie Wallace “Mims” fabric that is on her couch. It’s a little bit funky and colorful, which is exactly what this rug is!

About Emily

Emily Nichols is a self-taught abstract artist that resides with her husband, three young children in Fort Worth, Texas. Growing up, she was always finding ways to be creative. She always loved art classes, but studied to be a ballerina until going to college at Texas Christian University. After being an elementary school teacher and then a stay at home mom to her three children, Emily found painting as a creative outlet during the pandemic. What started out as a painting for her own home quickly grew to painting for friends, family, and now people all across the country.

Emily loves finding the perfect mix and balance of colors to bring her paintings interest, depth, and layers of texture. She finds joy out of being creative and letting herpaintbrush and her process guide the direction of each painting. Her signature 'confetti style' painting reminds you that there are moments in each day worthy of celebrating. Emily hopes that her paintings make you stop and smile every time you walk by them in your homes.

About Evelyn

Brushed with a love for all things creative, Evelyn Henson grew up in Columbus, GA where she always had an appreciation for art. She first discovered her love for painting when she attempted a floral "still life" as a Mother's Day gift in college. Since then, she hasn’t been able to put down the paint brush and feels there is something about art that brings out her happiest, brightest self. Evelyn started selling a few prints on Etsy and slowly created a colorful and happy gift brand that has been featured in Glamour, Domino, Redbook, People, Southern Living, Garden & Gun, Martha Stewart, and more.

Evelyn finds inspiration in everyday life, from flowers she sees on a morning walk to a floral dress worn by a girl in a coffee shop. She especially finds inspiration in the people who bring her joy every day. Most of Evelyn’s products start with thinking about what she would want to give her sister or a friend.

About Nicole

Frances Claire Interiors is a full service interior design studio that creates specialized spaces. Nicole Sisneros, owner and lead designer, aims to create liveable and joyful interiors with timeless design elements to help make your home a haven. 

Nicole's love and passion for interior design grew as she was building her own home and dreaming up special features for her future family. After the completion of her home, she and her husband welcomed their first daughter and she made the transition to being a full-time- stay-at-home mom. Three children and nursery designs later, their family quickly outgrew their dream home and made a big decision to move to the west coast to be near family.

In 2020, Nicole and her family began building a semi-custom home in Las Vegas. This home-build encouraged her to work full-time as owner and lead designer of Frances Claire Interiors. Nicole believes that custom designs are the backdrop for all of life’s precious moments.

The "Charlotte"

Inspired by timeless design elements and lots of color, Nicole loves to go bold with a space and incorporate thoughtful uses of color. "Traditional with a twist is my favorite!", she says.

Named after her first daughter, Charlotte, this oushak was originally designed for Nicole's primary bathroom. Nicole wanted to ground the space and make a statement with this 14’ runner. The hero fabric of the primary suite is Lee Jofa’s ‘Chinese Peony.” For the bathroom, we drew out some of the pink undertones while still incorporating the mint and cornflower hues used in the bedroom. Nicole says, "once we rolled out the runner, it instantly made the space warmer!"

The "Addison"

The Addison rug was named after Heather's daughter, Addie, who is her greatest inspiration. When designing her office rug, Heather chose vibrant and uplifting colors to represent her daughter’s big heart and charismatic personality. The oushak collectively showcases a bright and light combination of pink, lilac, green and blue.

About Jennifer

The "Hunter"

When designing Jennifer's collaboration rug, we focused on Khotan motifs and block prints, with some traditional Oushak elements throughout in an abstract pattern. The rug, designed for Jennifer’s living room in her future Washington, CT home, features muted tones of green, blue, cream, and raspberry. We believe it will lay the perfect foundation for Jennifer's country home!

Jennifer has always had an affinity towards traditional design; however, her skills were sharpened when she had the privilege of interning for Albert Hadley, who taught her to edit. "You can’t just throw every pretty fabric in one room. There needs to be a rhyme and reason and some unifying thread. One also needs to understand ‘the why’ and the historical significance," explains Jennifer.

Jennifer describes her home as very "me" and “traditional, but livable for a young family," and believes "a home is meant to be lived in, if something gets a little beat up it gives it character!"

The “Gigi”

The “Gigi”, named after Katey’s mother who taught her the importance of using the home to take care of family, is a play on a traditional diamond sisal rug. It incorporates elements of blue from Katey’s dining room wallpaper with pops of pink to add a slight feminine touch and matches the soft creamy linen, green, and blue palette of her home.

This rug is meant to be in the middle of the action and designed to not only be an aesthetically beautiful living room centerpiece, but also withstand high traffic. The diamond design illustrates Katey’s love of singing a song to her two children, Maxi and Harry, about two hearts connected, by two colors interlocked and weaved repeatedly. Inspired by the simple things, Katey embraces everyday life at home, staying true to her style as a mother, while being cognizant of who her home is for. While a Nest candle may always be burning with a fresh plate of cookies on the counter, there’s sure to be a whole lot of love, laughter, and joy throughout the Hellman House.

About Lisa

Lisa Hicks, owner and lead designer of Lisa Hicks Interiors, designs high-end residential and boutique commercial projects across the country. From full-service design to decorating and styling, Lisa never settles for anything less than perfection. Her projects are customized and personalized—and just as unique as the clients she works with.

The "Hicks"

Inspired by crisp, clean, elegant, and functional design, Lisa believes clients should love everything in their home because interiors are very holistic. By taking care of a home, this invokes a sense of calm that inspires and motivates while allowing clients to recharge and connect with family in a very comfortable and relaxed way. To Lisa, this mentality is the recipe to creating the perfect home.

When designing “Hicks”, Lisa wanted to utilize intricate batik patterns while keeping them muted and neutral. Shaped with her primary bathroom in mind, we incorporated very soft, light, and pretty colors, such as Sherwin Williams “Lullaby” (the vanity color), and Benjamin Moore “Chantilly Lace” (the wall color). The bathroom, designed to be a truly relaxing space, is a getaway from the daily hustle. This rug is sure to evoke a sense of peace and calming in any room!

About Lacey

The "Hennessey"

While Lacey was searching for a rug to anchor the heart of her home, the living room, she struggled to find the perfect one. Her home is a collection of what makes her happy, and she strongly believes that one's house should be a reflection of their personality. Using Procreate, Lacey pulled her favorite colors and elements, like coral and greek key, and got to work designing her dream rug. The "Hennessey" is a colorful rug, yet still muted in tone. It allowed Lacey to place all of her favorite artwork onto a gallery wall while still anchoring her favorite patterned swivel chairs and owning placement to her adjacent hand painted mural on the wall. The "Hennessey" is a true reflection of Lacey's fun personality and her motto, "more is more - always."
