Meet the Team
CHRISTINE MECHELSE - Owner + Principal Designer
Christine’s passion for interior design and unique furniture has shaped her career from the very beginning. Known for her ability to transform tired spaces, she built her expertise sourcing authentic vintage furniture, art, and home décor through Colorado estate sales. What began as curating distinctive finds for her vintage shop quickly evolved into refurbishing and repurposing one-of-a-kind pieces for clients.
As demand for her design insight grew, Christine launched her full-time interior design business. Today, she is recognized for creating timeless interiors that blend modern and vintage design. She specializes in incorporating authentic, often one-of-a-kind vintage pieces to craft spaces that feel layered, personal, and enduring. Christine works across a variety of design styles, delivering customized interiors for both homes and businesses.
A Florida native, Christine has lived in Georgia, Missouri, and North Carolina before settling in Colorado in 2010. She is a wife, mother of two, and owner of one very lazy cat.
