Christine Mechelse
OWNER + PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
Christine has a natural eye for breathing life into tired spaces. She took her love of all things vintage and became an estate sale regular here in Colorado while primarily a stay-at-home-mom, expertly acquiring the most sought after authentic vintage furniture, art, and home decor to share in her vintage shop. Refreshing, refurbishing, and repurposing vintage pieces for clients deepened her love for the world of interior design and soon she was being called upon for design advice from her buyers. This prompted Christine to start her own business and offer her design services full-time. As design evolves, Christine has remained a reliable principal designer with an eye for creating spaces that are unique to the home or business, marrying modern and vintage designs that produce a timeless look and feel to be cherished for years to come. Christine loves to work with all design styles and challenges, and she continues to incorporate authentic, and often one of a kind, vintage pieces into her work as often as possible.
Christine is a Florida native and has lived in Georgia, Missouri, and North Carolina, before settling in Colorado in 2010. She has a passion and love for all things visually creative. History is her favorite subject. Authentic mid-century furniture is her weakness. She is a wife and mother of two amazing children and one lazy cat.
Mariah Cope
DESIGN LEAD
Mariah Cope is a native Coloradan who has been in Interior Design professionally for 3+ years. Over that time, Mariah discovered a deep passion and respect for creating spaces that fit her client’s personalities, but also provide functionality and attention to detail. Her background in Digital Design at Grand Canyon University paired with her Associates in Interior Design at Phoenix College has created a foundation for a methodical, creative and fun approach to the process. After meeting her husband in school, the newlyweds packed up and moved back to Denver where Mariah has now been a designer and assistant with HouseHome for four years. Mariah’s attention to detail and heart for hospitality make her an invaluable team member.
Cassie Peterson
Design Office Coordinator
Cassie joins us with past careers in Journalism, Public Relations, Mothering and Marketing. Now that her three kids are older (upper teens and early 20s), she is making time to pursue a life-long passion in Interior Design. In addition to taking classes at Arapahoe Community College, she is learning all about the design world first hand by assisting Christine and Mariah.
More than 20 years ago, Cassie and Christine were good friends back in Florida. After years in California, the Petersons moved to Littleton, Colorado seven years ago. This coordinator job brought them back into each other’s lives. What a blessing!
When not redecorating her home or hybrid-homeschooling her teen, Cassie enjoys yoga, coffee with friends, growing spiritually with her church community, and bike rides with hubby. She also can be found giving her two doodle dogs rubs behind the ears and singing in the kitchen.
