Amy Thomasson - Owner and principal designer of House of Amelia, has been designing Dallas interiors and second homes around the country for the past 18 years.  After receiving her degree in Interior Design from Baylor University in 1999, she continued to hone her design skills and knowledge by working with well-respected design influencers in the Dallas design community before opening House of Amelia.

Her personal tastes are highly influenced by her affinity for modern art and design as well as her love for mid-century furniture and architecture.  However, her experience and love of design, in general, give her the unique ability to work in any design style and execute sophisticated, comfortable, and beautiful spaces.  House of Amelia strives to create environments that are well-balanced, comfortable, and reflective of their client's unique personalities and styles.
