CAITLIN MCLAUGHLIN

With more than 20 years of design experience, Caitlin has worked in multiple facets (and different mediums) of design including print, web, floral, corporate holiday, home staging, and residential interior design.

As a graduate of the University of Miami, Caitlin holds a double-major in Communications and Graphic Design. Her time in Miami brought about her love for Art Deco, Cafe con Leche, and the flora and fauna of the tropics.

While studying abroad in 2001, she learned about Athena Nike while taking classes at the Louvre Museum. She studied Picasso and Rodin in the gardens of the Seventh Arrondissement and traveled extensively throughout France and Europe.

Born and raised in Massachusetts -- with roots in Florida -- Caitlin currently lives in Weymouth, MA with her husband, two step-children, and their 14 fish.

Favorite Quote?

Designer Secret?

Don't choose your paint color first. Pick it last -- after the rug, fabrics, wood tones, and metals. The right color and shade will reveal itself after the furnishings and finishes have been selected.
