Meet Abbe
After designing more than a hundred sorority houses across the country, I’ve become known as the designer who understands how to balance durability, function, and personality in a house filled with women. I bring in Southern charm, playful patterns, and feminine details that feel fresh without ever losing sophistication.
My work is luminous and bold, always polished but never predictable. From custom wallpapers and fabrics to one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, every design I touch is meant to capture the spirit of the women who live there—and make their house feel like home.
Behind the Scenes
Gorgeous images tell a home’s story, but seeing the space come together in motion makes us happy too. Here are a few of our latest installation videos, how-to bits and unique projects that include great before & afters.
Pull up a seat & stay awhile. 🪑
A sorority house feels most welcoming when the first impression sets the tone—starting with a front porch that invites you in and a foyer that feels layered, warm, and full of personality. Thoughtful details, like chapter-inspired finishes or custom touches only the members recognize, create a sense of pride and belonging. Cozy nooks for studying, chatting, and catching up ensure the house feels like both a home and a hub for sisterhood.

Designing a home away from home for 200 women? No pressure. 😉
When I design sorority houses, I’m not just thinking about how the space LOOKS, I’m thinking about how it will LAST.
The key? Performance fabrics that can handle everything from late-night study sessions to recruitment week chaos.

THREE WORDS: sorority show stopping. 👏👏👏
If there`s one thing I know, it`s that making an impression when you walk in the door is key to sorority house design.
The AOII Iota chapter house brings the wow factor with jewel-tone layers and luxe details, all while staying practical enough for coffee chats with sisters and packed house events.

Put your hands together for a sorority house that is so unique (and perfectly fall coded). 👏🍂
I loved working with the women of @illinoisaoii to transform their home into a truly stunning space that highlighted the integrity of the original bones, while also bringing it into this century! 🤎
✨ Custom toile grasscloth wallpaper that brings in AOII’s heritage in a playful, elevated way.
✨ A layered mix of velvets, chic plaidss, and florals that feel cozy and bold while complimenting the home’s architectural details.
,✨ Statement lighting that ties old-world charm with fresh sparkle

Q: Should I decorate for Thanksgiving this year or skip ahead to Christmas? 🧐
A: If you’re using @porchpumpkins then heck yes!
In all seriousness, it doesn’t matter which you choose (or if you choose to forgo decorating altogether). While decorating bring me joy, it can also be a lot of work for very few people to enjoy…
That’s why I LOVE having @porchpumpkins take care of the 🎃 for me!! You get the awesome look, without all the hassle and hours spent staging and rearranging.
