Krissy McArthur, Owner

Krissy McArthur, Interior/Floral Designer and Photographer

Krissy grew up in Seattle and is a graduate of the University of Washington. After college she spent 2 years in Hong Kong where she developed her love for Asian art and décor, commonly known as Chinoiserie. In 1997 she moved to St. Louis where she trained as a floral designer under well-known florist, Mary Tuttle.

She has been called a renaissance woman and when she is not painting, sewing, building, hanging wallpaper or shopping at Home Goods, Krissy can be found creating art with acrylics/watercolors or taking pictures. Purple is her signature color and she loves to incorporate bold color and pattern into her designs. Her greatest passion is creating beauty and her greatest joy is creating beauty for others.
