This name perfectly invokes what I am passionate about achieving for each client - a home reflecting the spirit of its owners and that leaves an indelible imprint on the memory. My name is Marnie Backer and I am the principal of Spirit of Place design. My love of interior design started as a child perusing my grandmother’s Architectural Digest magazines and asking her about the late designer, Billy Baldwin. This love was solidified through a major career shift, formal education in design, and creating this firm. I look forward to learning about you and reflecting your spirit in your home or any other space of importance to you. https://www.spiritofplacedesigns.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628015977fb48135aacf2338/1652920555395-T1GAWM17QCCHGB0SPOV2/unsplash-image-c-Ot-d_-NSk.jpg Contact - Contact Marnie@SpiritofPlacedesigns.com https://www.spiritofplacedesigns.com/spiritofplacedesign daily 0.75 2022-05-15 https://www.spiritofplacedesigns.com/spiritofplacedesign/santa-fe-62ek2 monthly 0.5 2022-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628015977fb48135aacf2338/6e9cb064-1dd3-4a77-8b40-a523094ebfe8/DSC08718.jpg Spirit of Place design - past work The kitchen. It’s where everyone congregates. Refrigerator doors are left open, babies are fed, dogs linger hopefully below, friends mingle, and memories are made. The modern kitchen functions for all ages and abilities, while providing a mirror to the spirit of the home and its occupants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628015977fb48135aacf2338/2004cd25-a419-40cd-adc0-737b70546e64/IMG_1044.png Spirit of Place design - past work Occasional seating also yearns for conversation and a warm Being to make it feel useful and loved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628015977fb48135aacf2338/a1e96f58-5f1b-49f3-9f7a-404d6c58c224/2BC0A598-9762-4D16-98F1-EAD431BF2FB3.jpeg Spirit of Place design - past work Layers upon layers can make any room more interesting and memorable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628015977fb48135aacf2338/8c4b4617-88fe-4b3f-939f-bc4449c5021d/DSC08849.jpg Spirit of Place design - past work The powder room can be a charming and playful space that is a treat for guests' senses.
