If you haven’t heard of Lisa Mende, one of Charlotte’s best interior designers (in my humble opinion), then hop on over to her Instagram or website & check her out ASAP! You can read more about Lisa here, and enjoy below a glimpse of some of her gorgeous projects all along the East Coast.
Tuxedo Park – Atlanta, Ga.
Project: “There’s no place like home” for Atlanta Home and Lifestyle Magazines Southeastern showhouse.
Rooms redone: Mudroom and Friend’s porch
Details: A friend’s porch is supposed to be the entrance friends use when visiting your home. Don’t miss Lisa’s “friends” on her couch pictured below.

South Park- Charlotte, N.C.
Project: Private residence right here in Charlotte.
Room redone: family room.
Details: The goal of this project was to provide comfortable seating for viewing television and enjoying a fire in the family room. The sofa was upholstered in Robert Allen crypton velvet for easy care and wear for this family with three children.

Chapel Hill, N.C.
Project: The Hooper-Kyser House in Chapel Hill,NC – its the oldest house in Chapel Hill. Private residence for single man and his son.

Emerywood- Charlotte, N.C.
Project: Randall B Terry House for Traditional Home Magazine
Rooms redone: Kitchen, breakfast room, and mudroom
Details: Referred to by some as “The Million Dollar Doghouse” because the former owner died and left the entire house to his five dogs. He also appointed a caretaker to take care of the house and the dogs until their death. Keeping this unique situation in mind custom fabrics were used in the mudroom for the dogs along with portraits of the dogs. The kitchen is a full Thermador experience.
