THE VISION
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
THE WHY
I’ve always had a passion for interiors. Sounds cliche but it’s true. After my first interior design class in high school and college and hours of binge-watching Joanna Gaines, Studio McGee, and other interior designers, I fell in love with this design discipline. I love all things design, color, textures, and pretty much anything to do with design. It’s been a long-time dream of mine to create a boutique design studio simply for the love of creating interiors that reflect you. I hope to create many beautiful sanctuaries for my clients and tell your stories through interior design for years to come. I am so glad you’re here and I hope you stick around…..

MEET THE FOUNDER
FOUNDER + PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
CECILIA BOAT
I find that writing about oneself is quite uncomfortable. Like what do you even say without sounding like a robot? So here’s my attempt of telling you a little about myself so you can get to know your favorite current or future Interior designer…
Hi I’m Cecilia! I go by Ceci and I am a chai addict. I was born in Ghana, West Africa then migrated to the US at the age of 10.
Growing up, I dreaded the question every child is usually asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” My answer to that question was always all over the place. I never truly felt like I knew what I wanted to do until High-School…
After taking some apparel classes and interior design classes, I knew I wanted to go to Design School, which I ended up doing. I went to the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Georgia and that is where my love for design and creativity blossomed.
After graduation, I worked in New York City for about 3 years before leaving the corporate world and starting my own thing.
HOUSE OF BOAT has been 2 years in the making and I’m finally glad to share this brand with you and I look forward to seeing it grow and bloom into your favorite interior design brand..
