Haines City is a growing Polk County community with a strong mix of new-build family homes, established residential neighborhoods, and a significant vacation rental market driven by its proximity to the Disney corridor. Whether you are moving into a new home that needs a complete interior vision, renovating a property you have lived in for years, or designing a vacation rental that needs to photograph beautifully and welcome guests from day one, I understand the range of design needs Haines City homeowners and investors face.
I am not just a designer — I am a creative partner in your project. I am based in Winter Garden and serve Haines City homeowners, builders, and property investors who want spaces that look beautiful and function for real life. Whether you are designing a forever home or a vacation rental that needs to be performed, I bring the same level of care and expertise to every project.
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.
Haines City is a community on the move — growing steadily while keeping the family-friendly,
down-to-earth character that makes it a great place to live and invest. Whether your style is
modern and minimal, warm, and traditional, or something entirely your own,
I design your vision — not mine.
From new-build interiors and whole-home renovations to turnkey vacation properties and commercial interiors,
Stones Design LLC brings award-winning design expertise to every Haines City 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, complete turnkey projects designed and furnished from scratch, and vacation rental property design.

Yes. I offer free in-home design consultations in Haines City. 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.
Yes. Haines City’s proximity to the Disney corridor means there is a large vacation rental market here, and I have extensive experience designing turnkey properties that are fully furnished and guest ready. A well-designed rental photographs better, attract more bookings, and commands higher rates. I can help you create a space that performs as well as it looks.
Timelines vary depending on the scope. A single-room refresh can take a few weeks, while a full home design or turnkey vacation property typically runs over several months. I provide a clear timeline at the start of every project, so you always know what to expect.
