INSPIRED INTERIORS
At Home Sanctuary Design, we approach interiors as living environments: layered, soulful, and responsive to the people who inhabit them.
A home is never just a backdrop. It is where life unfolds. Where identity takes shape. Where beauty, memory, comfort, and function meet.
Whole House Renovation / Interior Design
Designer: Mary Arose Hines
Client: Brian Blum
Location: Taos, NM 2025 - 2026
Our client Brian Blum took on a real "fixer upper" to modernize for him & his daughter to live in as she enters the "tween years". Brian enjoys modern design, often travels for work and loves the feeling of being in luxurious Asian spa. We worked with Brian to craft a modern masculine aesthetic that would blend with the existing Southwest architecture, while also providing elements for his daughter to feel at home. Special attention was paid to the lighting design and balancing high contrast design elements with warm natural woods. We worked with creating a restrained color palette and adding organic elements to soften the space. The space was also designed to double as a short-term rental when Brian & his daughter travel.

Our clients Gayle & Dan needed a sanctuary space for themselves when having their children & grandchildren visit at a family vacation home they had recently purchased.

We completely reworked the floor plan & designed many custom features for them including custom kitchen cabinets and doors, an armoire, a laundry room and a bathroom designed for aging.

Whole House Renovation / Interior Design
Designer: Mary Arose Hines
Clients: Joe & Julie Westermeyer
Location: Taos, NM - 2024-2025
Our clients Joe & Julie Westermeyer inherited a family ski lodge in Taos. They wanted to update their families winter vacation home while staying true to the Southwestern Soul of the home that Joe's parents built many years ago. We updated the main spaces, including the bathrooms, bedrooms, living room, kitchen and created multi use spaces to accommodate their large blended family. We also designed custom features including an African mahogany bed, with increased storage, custom lighting and usb ports. This space was also designed to double as a short-term vacation rental when the families are at the primary residences.
"Thank you for all your hard work and attention to detail. Everything looks fantastic, Mary!"
