My design approach is to create timeless spaces that are not only beautiful, but functional for my clients. The discussion always begins with how you want to live and feel in your home. I then build a design that fits your needs and in the end hope to create a space where laughter is had, healing takes place, and gives you a sense of comfort. My design leans towards a classic feel with an organic design aesthetic which is ever-evolving. I believe in using simple, natural materials and layering them to tell the story of the home.
“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.”

PERSONAL BIO
A designer & the blogger behind Two Ellie since 2008. A mother of two. A proud wife. An occasional cook. An avid book reader. A friend. A designer. A photographer. A mess most days. Two Ellie is a place for me to share my story as God has written it. The beauty and the mess. A place where we strive to live life to its fullest not to pinterest worthy perfection. We each have our own perfect and that's a place where I strive to dwell. Two Ellie began in 2008 as a stay at home moms need for a creative outlet that was my very own. With this journal I have met amazing people and I have been published in various outlets. I have had the privilege of partnering with the likes of Home Depot, Boden, Minted, Industry West and Fresh Style Magazine to name a few. It then led me to a career that I adore.
SERVICES
Currently I am partnering with clients who need help selecting finishes and furnishings.
Providing designs for primary residences, vacation homes and local small-scale commercial projects. Paula will work with your architect, drafters and contractors to bring the vision to life. She will collaborate with the trades from floor plan development to finish selections, and all the little details in between. She also finds value in a simple refresh if that is all the project calls for.
The client will be presented a comprehensive overview which includes mood and design boards, illustrations and buying guides to help you visualize the design and concept of your home.
Design services are not one size fit all, as every need and desire is different. and Paula Coldiron Interiors provides an array of design options that may work for you. Want to discuss more? Contact Paula here.
