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…..

THE APPROACH

What Makes HOB Different

- at the core of the studio -

NO.1

LISTEN AND CARE

through careful research, I design, & implement your must-haves while staying true to my design style & what the studio stands for (authenticity).

NO.2

EXCLUSIVITY

i believe that no two people are like so therefore no two interior spaces should be the same. Your home, your style.

NO.3

INTENTIONALLY CLIENT CENTRIC

my mission is to make sure you settle into your dream dwelling feeling heard, acknowledged, and feeling like you were able to trust me with your vision and I made it come to pass

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..
