“I hired the Shand Design Team when I first bought my home in 2022.  I was very naive to the process, and thought I was just getting some people to help me pick out furniture.  Susan and Ryan are so much more than that.  They are a whirling dervish of creativity, and a calming presence all at the same time. They shepherded me through every part of the process.  From the architect house plans, permitting, contractors, and of course the design.  They were immensely helpful in circumventing potential problems, and worked seamlessly with the subcontractors.   I look around my dream home now and see the care and thoughtfulness that they put into every single item.  Their impeccable taste emanates from each room, and I'm grateful to have found them.” - Jeremy

At Cottage & Olive, we performed a complete gut renovation — stripping the home down to the studs and rebuilding the interiors from the ground up. Every room was reimagined with a fresh design vision, layering natural materials, soft textures, and refined finishes for a cohesive, timeless feel. The layout and details were carefully curated to enhance modern living while maintaining a sense of calm and flow throughout the home. From the kitchen and living areas to the bedrooms and bathrooms, each space was thoughtfully redesigned to balance function and style. The result is a fully transformed interior that feels intentional, serene, and beautifully tailored.
