Motif co-founder Lyn Peterson, a.k.a., “the real life decorator,” has clients from Maine to Santa Monica, and takes on projects from a single mud-room to an entire modern manse. 

Lyn keeps her well-trained eye on both the big picture and the details. She works regularly with top architects and contractors to hone the overall design, then combs antique and trade sources to add the furnishings and accessories that capture a client’s style.. .. . . . . ..... ............................ 

Simultaneously stylish and thrifty, Lyn loves to spend but hates to waste. Years of on-the-job-site knowledge make her savvy about what really works in decoration and renovation.  As Lyn says, “I may not be smarter than my customers, I may not have better taste, and I certainly may not be as affluent, but I definitely have more experience…the best teacher of all.”
