Ruby + Suede

Walnut, honed black granite, brushed brass.🤎

A closer look at the mix of materials that gives The Dakota kitchen so much depth while still keeping the space clean and timeless.

Cabin season never really ends. 🤍

Pleasant Avenue in Balsam Lake, Wisconsin is full of warm textures, natural light, and spaces made for settling in and staying awhile.

Bold patterns and rustic textures in one family home. The reclaimed stone kitchen surround and colorful tilework make this house feel full of life. ✨

A little look at where El Dorado Drive began. 🤎
Warm woods, soft stone, mossy greens, and aged brass set the direction for a home that feels layered, warm, and timeless.

Shout out to our own Interior Designer, Shelby Garris, not only for her amazing design work on this project, but for making the process easy for our client.

Here's what our client had to say:

“Me and my husband both work full-time and we have two boys, so we're always active. What I loved about working with Shelby at Ruby+Suede is that she was the project manager for us. She worked closely with Eric, who was the construction project manager. All I would have to do is pick the tile out, and then she would do all the communication and create our paint schedule. She even made a whole Excel spreadsheet for us. I had a very positive experience with Ruby+Suede.”

“What I love most is helping clients move from feeling overwhelmed and uncertain (at the start of the project) to feeling excited and confident. It’s incredibly rewarding to guide them through the process, bring their story to life, and watch the experience become something they truly enjoy. Seeing their dream take shape and knowing we created it together is the best part of what I do.”

Jen, Interior Designer

Getting this kind of feedback from a client is everything.

"I can not say enough wonderful things about Kristen and Jen!! I was extremely worried about our new build and how I was going to make all the decisions needed to make sure it looked nice. They listened to what I wanted and designed everything better than I could have ever dreamed! They made the whole process fun and easy!" ~Nancy S.

Making the interior design process fun and easy is EXACTLY our goal (along with building beautiful spaces, of course)!

Thank you for sharing your experience, Nancy — it was a delight to work with you!
