Groveland is one of the fastest-growing communities in South Lake County, with new construction and established homes sitting side by side. I understand the design opportunities that come with that mix — from brand-new builds that need a complete interior vision to older properties ready for a thoughtful renovation. Florida’s climate shapes every decision, from materials and finishes to color palettes and natural light, and I bring that understanding to every Groveland project.
I am not just a designer — I am a creative partner in your project. I am based in a nearby Winter Garden and work closely with Groveland homeowners, builders, and realtors who want spaces that look beautiful and function for real life.
Whether you are designing a forever home, renovating a property you have lived in for years, or furnishing a vacation rental that needs to impress from the first listing photo, I bring the same level of care and expertise to every project.
Groveland is growing fast, and with that growth comes homeowners who
want their spaces to feel considered, personal, and built for the way they live.
Whether your style is modern and minimal, warm, and traditional, or something
entirely your own, I design your vision — not mine.
From residential new builds and renovations to commercial interiors and hospitality
projects, Stones Design LLC brings award-winning design
expertise to every Groveland project.
I offer a full range of interior design services including new construction design, home renovation and remodeling, room-by-room refreshes, furniture selection and space planning, color consulting, and complete turnkey projects — designed and furnished from scratch. I also work on commercial and hospitality interiors.
Yes. I offer free in-home design consultations in Groveland. We will walk through your space together, discuss how you live and what you want to change, and provide expert guidance tailored to your home, style, and budget.
Timelines vary depending on the scope. A single-room refresh can take a few weeks, while a full home design or renovation project typically runs over several months. I provide a clear timeline at the start of every project, so you always know what to expect.
Absolutely. With so much new construction happening in Groveland, I work regularly with builders who want interiors that match the quality of their builds, and with realtors who want to stage or prepare homes for sale. If you are a builder or realtor in the Groveland area, I would welcome the opportunity to collaborate.
Ready to transform your space? Let’s talk about your
home and bring your vision to life — with a design that is
