“If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.” – Gaston Bachelard – Philosopher, Poetics of Space
Hi! I’m Carrie Kellerby, the president of Interior Monologues, Inc., and IM Design. I have been involved in the home building and design business off and on since I was a kid. I grew up in the building business and worked my way through college with a variety of jobs in real estate, architecture and home building. After a degree in Art History I worked for designers and in 2000 started Interior Monologues as a faux finish painter and design consultant. I’ve trained in the window covering and flooring business as well. For a number of years I specialized in new construction, but I also enjoy remodeling and updating projects.
In addition my interior design practice I am an artist and writer. I’m also a mom, with a grown son and a teenage horse-crazy daughter. She’s a talented artist and helps me navigate technology and the world of social media. In addition, I’m currently working on a PhD in the philosophy of domestic aesthetics. It sounds like a lot, but I’m pretty energetic. I still find time for gardening, reading, trail running and a yoga practice. In fact, it’s those last things that allow me to focus my full attention on whatever I’m doing in the present moment.
I am passionate about helping people create the home that fully expresses the life they love, the mindful intention of home. And I would love to meet with you and hear about your vision.
The IM Design showroom and retail shop offers the best in sustainable home fashions from flooring materials to window coverings. We carry blinds, custom draperies, furniture lines, area rugs, carpeting, tile and woods, along with many other one-of-kind decorative items and finishes. In addition, we thoroughly research the products we carry to make certain they are what they claim to be, that their claims are verifiable, and that all certifications are up to date. Products can be purchased at IM Design retail with or without installation, and the showroom is also available as a resource for both the design and builder trade. Please ask about our “To The Trade” program.
