Mother Studio is a multi-disciplinary creative studio led by Laura Evans and Karie Reinertson, based in Southern Appalachia. We specialize in full-service interior design across the East Coast, grounded in a belief in the lasting value of craft and the culture of the handmade.

We design spirited, richly textured spaces that feel personal and lived-in, shaped by close collaboration with skilled craftspeople, builders, and artists, and by the regional communities connected to each project.

Our work is warm, friendly, and collaborative. We bring ease and humor to an intimate and sometimes serious process. With long-standing roots in Western North Carolina’s maker community, we remain committed to integrating the handmade into everything we do.

The other woman with short hair stands next to her, resting her hand on the table. There are magazines and a large white vase with greenery on the table, and four green chairs around it.
