Linda’s Philosophy

“A life well-lived is always rooted in gratitude. We determine our quality of life by our thoughts & actions. Love begins toward one’s self and this determines how we love others. kindness matters. Humility & authenticity are sexy.”

Hello! Meet Linda…

Positive and optimistic… fearless and feminine… compassionate, intuitive, and not put off by a challenge. These words describe Linda Elkins.

Linda is grounded in Mid-West values and appreciates the unique experiences of growing up in Ohio.  Throughout her childhood, she and her family lived in 4 states, and as an adult, she has visited 26+ countries.

Linda was fortunate to receive her formal interior design education in Santa Barbara, California. Driving to school along the beautiful coastline every day from Ojai to Santa Barbara was a treasured experience. From there, Linda passed the California Council for Interior Design Certification (CCIDC) exam, earning the prestigious “CID” credential.

Self-enrichment is a high value to Linda and is expressed through spirituality, creativity, and Mother Nature.  Living a healthy lifestyle in mind, body, and spirit is a priority.  A self-described “nester”, Linda loves art, rocks, quirky objects, the great outdoors, and, of course, interior design!

Linda has been an accomplished area rug and jewelry designer, and has also expressed her artistic skills through painting on women’s clothing that she sold to boutiques across the US.   In her spare time, she enjoys kayaking, SUP boarding, camping in “Gertie”, her Little Guy Mini Max, and simply enjoying life with her always-entertaining Westies, Miss Josie and Sir Oliver.

Testimonials

Linda has an uncanny ability to intuit what designs would feel good for her clients and look great in their home. She is such a joy to work with because she's super-talented, kind, hard-working and ethical. She made our lives so much easier, and our home so much prettier! When we fortuitously found Linda, my husband and I had just completed an exhausting home-build. By that point, we just didn't have the mental energy to figure out how to best design the furniture lay-out, make all the selections and place the orders. Linda quickly understood what we wanted and what would look uniquely beautiful in our home. She presented us with three thorough designs and we loved them all! All the colors and shapes blended seamlessly, creating a tranquil, lovely and comfortable atmosphere.

Linda is an expert in good feng shui, and she approaches decorating with a loving, joie de vivre! She goes the extra mile and makes every moment spent with her a true pleasure.
