Annie Elliott
Principal Designer + CEO
Annie Elliott trained as an art historian and worked in some of the nation’s top museums before turning to interior design.
Annie graduated from Milton Academy, studied English and Art History at the University of Pennsylvania, and earned an M.A. in Art History from Williams College. Her career in museums included senior positions at Philadelphia’s Rosenbach Museum & Library, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Smithsonian.
After coursework at the Corcoran College of Art + Design (now part of GW University), she took her love of art and color – and her training in matters of scale, balance, and proportion – and made the shift to interior design. Today, she and her team create gorgeous homes that feature a mix of antiques and modern furnishings, bold colors, lively patterns, and art. Wallpaper is usually involved.
Annie’s work and insights appear in national publications such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, HGTV Magazine, and others. She loves spreading the gospel of stylish yet strategic design through guest appearances on NBC4 and her popular TikTok channel, which earned a webby nomination in the “How-To/Explainer” category. Annie’s book (revised and expanded) will be released by Artisan Books in August 2025.
Annie lives in Woodley Park with her husband; twin daughters when they’re home from college; dog; and turtle, who will outlive us all. Her favorite color is grassy green.
AUDRA SCRIBNER
Interior Designer
Audra received her undergraduate degree from the University of Oklahoma and, after a stint in San Diego, moved to Washington to earn an M.A. in Interior Design at Marymount University.
Her love of interiors started when she was a little girl, frequently redecorating her dollhouse and obsessing over her mother’s Southern Living magazines. She loves traditional interiors (with a twist!) that incorporate saturated colors, playful patterns, and glam accents.
She lives in Glover Park with her husband, Tyler, and their coonhound-shepherd mix, Tyson. Her favorite color is a tie between butterfly wing blue and mulberry red.
Emma Allnutt

Emma resides in Maryland and delights in caring for her many plants, the names of which include Inez, Jerry, and Curtis. While she adores all shades of green, her favorite color is kiwi.
AMY OLIVER BEAUPRÉ
Senior Designer
With an English degree from Wellesley College and an M.A. in Art History from Williams College, Amy has more than 20 years of professional experience as an art historian, fine art appraiser, and interior design consultant.

Amy’s design philosophy is that cheerful, inviting interior spaces can be achieved with smart planning, strategic purchasing, and adding the personal elements that bring character and soul to your home.
