We worked with TEW to help us remodel our kitchen, living room, and dining area in our 1960s split level home in Raleigh. Rima and Frances met with us many times throughout the course of our project. They really listened to what we were looking for and incorporated all of our priorities into their design. Throughout the process Rima and her team were organized, communicative, and transparent. All of the contractors and sub-contractors that were chosen by TEW did fantastic work. We encountered a few unexpected structural issues once demo was complete but TEW walked us through our options and were very clear about how timeline and budget would be impacted in each scenario. We felt informed and supported throughout our decision-making and are absolutely thrilled with the end result!
My young family was new to the process of house renovations and approaching a full kitchen remodel with a toddler was daunting.
Rima and her team were wonderful every step of the way. Stephanie created a stunning kitchen design that was truly customized to enhance our real life. She asked great questions and listened deeply to our answers, honoring the input in a way that always made us feel understood. They respected our budget and it never impacted the quality of the design. When unexpected twists occurred during construction so we had to source new material, the TEW team were eager to help problem solve and approached it as an exciting challenge rather than an inconvenience.
When I stand in my new kitchen, it feels like an expression of my heart. Not only did TEW design a space built for functionality, they created a kitchen that feels like a permanent home.
The contractor we worked with was recommended by TEW and is another example of TEW’s commitment to excellence. We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end and trusted the relationship between the design and execution.
We worked with TEW in fall 2023 to update the house we recently purchased. We cannot recommend them enough. The entire team is brilliant and the design updates to our house went above and beyond what we had hoped for. They listened to our needs and preferences and made recommendations that incorporated our thoughts with innovative and creative design elements.
We worked with Tew to redesign our kitchen, and they were fantastic! They took our very rough vision for what we wanted and needed our kitchen to be for a growing family and turned it into something both visually stunning and wonderfully more functional. They were a pleasure to work with from the design phase, through helping us find a contractor, on to putting in the final touches once all the building and installing was completed.
The TEW team recently completed a major remodel of our primary bathroom and closet. They were very attentive to our inspiration photos, and blended their own design sense seamlessly with our likes in coming up with a design we couldn’t have imagined on our own. They coordinated with their network of contractors so we had peace of mind in who came in and out of our home during the course of the project.

When clients or partners step into an office, they experience more than a workspace; they’re stepping into your company’s culture. Every corner tells a story about how you operate and what you value, down to the last tissue box. At Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton (KTS), the communal break room wasn’t telling the right story. Dark, […]
A home is so much more than walls and furniture – it’s the backdrop for your life. For many homeowners, a “pretty space” isn’t enough. They want a home that can grow, shift, and adapt as their lives evolve. A “forever home” is designed with longevity in mind, not just in its structure, but in […]
When it comes to preparing your home for sale, many people think of quick fixes: a coat of paint, some landscaping, or maybe swapping a light fixture or two. However, the homes that truly capture buyers – the ones that get competing offers and sell at the highest value – usually have something more: design. […]

Healthy design isn’t just for homes — it’s for workplaces too. 🌿

🎉 A big happy birthday to our very own, Janae! 🌻
She turned 29 yesterday, and we`re so grateful for the energy she brings to our office. Janae is a creative powerhouse, known for her seamless, soft designs that bring a sense of calm to any home. What we love even more is how she fills our days with laughter and is a voice for the things the rest of us might shy away from (and making us giggle in the process).
We hope this year brings you joy, peace of mind, and plenty of time with your sweet family. 💛
Cheers to 29, Janae! 🥂✨

Design starts with big dreams and the awe of options. Then reality sneaks in and budgets stretch, timelines shift, and suddenly you’re asking yourself, “why did I start this again?”
• When optimism fades → TEW brings fresh perspective.
• When delays pop up → TEW keep projects moving.
• When the budget bites → TEW knows how to prioritize.
• When doubt sets in → TEW can give back confidence in your choices.
Because the truth is, design should feel exciting, but managing the details can leave you frustrated. We’ll guide you from overwhelm to “oh wow” every single time. 😉

Ever notice how some of the nicest places forget even the simplest of details…like a hook for your purse? It’s been a running joke in our office for years – after all the smack we’ve talked about places we visited…we realized we didn’t have one either. 😅
So naturally, we had to bring you the dorkiest of deliveries for an idea that cracks us up on a regular basis. Is it silly? Yeah.
But sometimes design isn’t just about the big picture–it’s about solving those everyday annoyances too.
