Heathrow is one of Central Florida’s most prestigious addresses — a guard-gated, master-planned community in Seminole County built around the fairways of the Heathrow Country Club. From the executives working at the Heathrow International Business Center to the families drawn by top-rated schools, tree-canopied streets, and lakefront settings, residents here have chosen a community defined by privacy, quality, and quiet elegance. Their homes deserve interiors that live up to that standard.
Many of Heathrow’s custom estate homes were built in the late 1980s through the early 2000s. They offer generous floor plans, soaring ceilings, and beautiful golf course and water views — but their kitchens, bathrooms, and finishes are often ready for a refined update. The challenge is modernizing these homes without stripping away the character that makes them special. That is exactly the work I love.
I bring 40 years of design experience, deep expertise in luxury renovation, and a practical understanding of how Florida’s climate shapes every material, color, and layout decision.
I’m not just a designer — I’m a creative partner in your project. I am based in Winter Garden and serve Heathrow homeowners, builders, and realtors who expect discretion, craftsmanship, and a polished result. I understand the timeless, elegant design language that Heathrow’s estate homes call for, and I deliver spaces that are luxurious, functional, and truly personal.
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.
Heathrow homeowners are accomplished people who have invested in one of Central Florida’s finest communities — and they expect their interiors to reflect it. Whether your style is classic and traditional, warm and transitional, or quietly contemporary, I design to your vision — not mine.
From whole-estate renovations and kitchen and bath remodels to single-room refreshes, turnkey projects, and commercial interiors, Stones Design LLC brings award-winning design expertise to every Heathrow project.
I offer a full range of interior design services including whole-home renovation and remodeling, kitchen and bathroom design, new construction and custom build design, room-by-room refreshes, furniture selection and space planning, color consulting, and complete turnkey projects — designed and furnished from scratch, right down to the linens. I also work on commercial and hospitality interiors.
Yes. I offer free in-home design consultations in Heathrow. We’ll 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. For larger Heathrow estates, I provide a detailed timeline at the start, so you always know what to expect.
Yes. With 40 years of experience and international design work across residential, commercial, and hospitality projects, I am very comfortable working at the estate level. I know how to update a 1990s Heathrow home with current materials and finishes while preserving its character — creating interiors that feel timeless, elegant, and genuinely livable.
