Great design isn't about buying everything new - it's about weaving stories together ✨ At Sugar Moss Studios, we hunt for forgotten heirlooms and overlooked art, then breathe new life into them through careful restoration and artistic vision. We dip into our Created Collections for design projects, and our clients get to shop the same curated pieces that inspire our interiors. These aren't just decorative objects - they're conversation starters and authentic touches that make a house feel like a home. When we design spaces, we're creating environments where every piece has purpose, personality, and a story worth telling. Because the most beautiful interiors aren't decorated - they're collected.
