A Home With Everything You Need + Nothing More®
“I never knew home could be so introspective.”
Why Hello...There you are gorgeous, we see you –– obsessing over your home!
For what feels like a lifetime, you’ve liked, double-tapped + pinned all of your favorite ideas but still, your vision of home feels incomplete. And while the pandemic is over, you can’t help but realize:
You see your home differently.
You’ve been become more mindful of how you live.
You daydream about wanting home life to slow down.
Deep inside, you know that there are things you don’t want to go back to. Like the “ol hurry up + get things done quickly only to move onto getting more things done.” Right?!
And despite the fact life literally was upended in a blink of an eye, you want a home that doesn't overshadow daily life. A home that allows you to do the things that matter most in life with people you both love + adore. A home where the longer you live in it — the better life gets.
But no matter what you’ve tried, nothing is quite right. You’ve had countless conversations about all of the things you could do to change things + still, no real progress has been made. Instead, you’re right back where you started without any clarity (or direction!)
While you’re a get it done with excellence kind of gal, perhaps, the most frustrating part is that you’re longing to live life with more peace + deep down you’re craving something none of us can have, something that is ever-fleeting — more time.
And It’s Impacting Your Life In A Variety Of Ways.
We live in this amazing world filled with endless possibilities + infinite choice, but you’re pulled, every day, in a thousand directions. So instead of soaking it all in + enjoying the beauty of it all, you feel more like the rope in a game of tug a war.
Still, you’ve got it going on. It feels like, in every area of your life you’re on top of your game. Then, you walk into your house. Nothing feels complete. It doesn’t truly reflect the things you truly value.
A home that you’re proud of. A place where everyone feels welcome. Where everyone can comfortably be themselves — a home you never want to leave and a home that you want to entertain in.
The moment you start to make traction in one area of your home the other rooms are unraveling before your eyes. And it’s just a matter of time before you become disorganized again. It almost feels like an impossible dream that you will never attain.
Sitting in a room where everyone is glued to their devices, you look around at all the stuff in your home and feel like the beauty of your life is somehow absent. Like the things you value most aren’t present.
You’ve always been the wildly-ambitious woman who is used to getting the results you desire but this is the one area that you have to admit, you just don’t have it down...
THE GOOD NEWS?
You don’t need to have it down. You excel in everything that you do, and it’s okay to leave this to someone else. This exactly why we exist. And it helped us start Elegant Simplicity back in 2009.
The interior design + professional organizing industries are broken.
The traditional interior designer or professional organizer isn’t invested in the long game for how your family lives + so while you may be left with a beautiful home, it eventually fails. And it fails for one very obvious reason because nothing in life is constant.
We rely on home to remind us of our roots, who we are, who we want to be + who we hope our loved ones will become. And our homes are a continuous evolution of our wants, desires, habits + our routines.
Quite frankly, the set it + forget it way of thinking should only apply to your rotisserie chicken… not to, creating a home. That’s one of the many reasons why we’re outrageously different — because at the core our fundamental belief is that the transformational journey of creating a home is continuous.
And this my friend, is what led us to commit our lives to educate others + building an award-winning interior design and home organizing firm unlike any other.

“
In their words…
“At first, I was really nervous about having people in my home to help me rethink the way we were living. I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I did know though was what we had, wasn’t what we wanted…”
In Their Words
“Even though I sometimes had difficulty trying to verbalize my vision, their thorough questions and patience made sure we were always on the same page.”
In Their Words
In Their Words
“Transitioning from 2 separate homes to 1 made life messy and unmanageable...and our home reflected that. We had double or triple of things that were randomly placed. It was so overwhelming, it was a huge source of stress and had put a strain on our relationship...”
In Their Words
“Our house is really coming together and our kids are finally playing with their toys because they can see them!!”
In Their Words

LESS FEAR + REGRET
LESS EMBARRASSMENT

We all need a little focus and accountability to keep the ball moving forward.

AS SEATTLE INTERIOR DESIGNERS + PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZERS
We know that one of the biggest optical illusions around the art of creating home, is that you do it once + you’re finished.
Designing + organizing a home that feels like the ultimate guilty pleasure isn’t a final destination my love. It’s a lifelong journey that embraces essence not excess, experience not stuff, meaningful connection not hollow interaction.
And that’s exactly why we’re here to help you through the process of creating a beautiful, functional + curated home that peels back the layers of stuff (that we all have) to breathe life into your home. To make room for what you value the most and nothing more. Because in a world that’s about going further + faster, we believe home is about living slower + closer.
Hey there...I’M SHERRI MONTE + THAT HANDSOME GUY NEXT TO ME, THAT’S MY HUBBY JOHN.
We’re the co-founders of this award-winning interior design + professional organizing firm, Elegant Simplicity.
By blending education, organization + design, we’ve have created a proven methodology that empowers families to make home feel like the ultimate guilty pleasure.
And if you haven’t gathered by now, we’re completely obsessed with beautifully organized interiors. In fact, since our humble beginnings back in 2009, we’ve helped professional athletes, Fortune 100 Executives, and hundreds of other clients live a more purposeful life by designing and organizing their home.
While we’re not ones for the bragging — in case you missed it — we’re no strangers to highly-renowned international and national publications such as Architectural Digest, Southern Living, NBC News, Yahoo Lifestyle, and Readers Digest.
