About

 Welcome to Paisley Interiors!
Thanks for visiting!

A bit about us:

We are Risa and Steph, high school acquaintances that actually didn't become great friends until long after high school. We were re-united through our boyfriends at the time, who are now our husbands. We have held each other up through rough times and laughed through good times. Change often comes as a surprise, and we are sure glad that change made us the best of friends and business partners.

A bit about the paisley suit:

We started this adventure in 2011 when we realized our hearts were in the same place: design. We both have studied interior design, and we love what this blog has done for our creativity. We hope you enjoy it, as well! Stay around and explore with us.

My husband rocks.
