Inside the Park Place Project.
A recent favorite. Full service, top to bottom — layered with vintage pieces, quiet color, and rooms built to be lived in, not just photographed.
“My husband and I had such a wonderful experience working with Shelby and Michelle. They were both so inviting and easy to work with — warm, loving personalities. They paid attention to the little details we cared about, bringing in cohesiveness and cozy. The best to work with.”— The Pearsons, Tennessee
Coming in May — The Eckert kitchen, butler’s pantry, dining, and keeping room reveal. Join our list to see it first.

Who you’re hiring
We’re Shelby and Michelle.
A mother-daughter design team working out of Dallas. We approach every project the way we approach our own homes — with care, with patience, and with the belief that a home should feel warm, collected, and entirely yours. We started designing together years ago because we couldn’t stop rearranging our own homes. FHL Design Co is what it became once clients started asking us to design theirs too — timeless spaces with character, built to be lived in, not just photographed. We take on a small number of projects at a time so every client gets the attention the work deserves. One designer (well — two), start to finish.

Design
We design. You live your life. We hand you back a home that finally feels like yours.What you get when you hire us
Inside the process.
You shouldn’t have to wonder what a design package looks like. Every Full Service client receives materials like these — renderings, concept boards, and plans — so you can actually see your home before it exists. The Edit delivers a scaled version of the same.
Photorealistic rendering
See it before it’s built.
Every key space is rendered in 3D so you know what you’re signing off on. No guessing, no surprises — just a clear picture of the finished room.
Concept direction
The feeling, captured.
Before a single piece is ordered, you see the palette, the materials, and the mood — so the whole project stays anchored to one clear vision.
Plans + specifications
Every detail, documented.
Space plans, finish schedules, spec sheets — the working documents your builder, tradespeople, and vendors use. Nothing gets lost in translation.
This is what you get when you start with a consultation. Book yours.
Before you ask
Common questions.
How do I know which service is right for me?
For The Edit or if you’re exploring, start with the Consultation — ninety minutes with Shelby will tell you what your home actually needs, and the fee credits back if you book a package within 30 days. For new builds and full renovations, request a complimentary Discovery Call instead — a free 30-minute conversation to walk through scope, budget, and timeline.What does a project typically cost?
The Edit starts at $3,200 per room for design. Full Service projects are quoted after discovery and vary based on scope and square footage. In both cases, product costs (furniture, finishes, materials) are separate and fully yours to approve. If budget is the main question, the Consultation is the right first step — we’ll be honest about what your budget can do.Does the Edit price include the furniture and décor?
No. The $3,200/room design fee covers discovery, planning, sourcing, and install — but the actual furniture, textiles, art, and accessories are separate and paid directly to vendors. You control that budget and approve every purchase.Do you shop for us?
Yes. Every package includes full sourcing — vintage and new. For The Edit, you get a curated shoppable list with links, lead times, and our vendor trade pricing where applicable. For Full Service, we procure directly as part of the project.Can you receive and store my furniture?
Yes. We keep a warehouse for client projects where deliveries land, get inspected, and stay safe until install day. Holds are complimentary for the first 30 days. Most of our wholesale vendors require a commercial space to deliver to, so for many projects this is a necessity — not a luxury. Delivery from our warehouse to your home is quoted based on scope.Do you work outside of Dallas?
Yes. Consultations happen in-person within 15 miles of Rowlett or virtual anywhere. For Full Service projects, we’ve completed design work across the country — most of the process happens remotely (sourcing, renderings, plan reviews, check-ins), and we travel for site visits, selection meetings when local vendors matter, and install days. (Michelle’s pitching hard for a beach-house project — send yours.)How long does a project take?
The Edit typically runs 6–10 weeks from kickoff to install, depending on sourcing lead times. Full Service timelines vary — renovations are 4–9 months, new builds usually align with the construction schedule. We set a specific timeline together at the proposal stage.Can I just pick your brain?
That’s what the Consultation is for. It’s priced so we can give you real, specific answers — not a sales pitch — and you walk away with a plan whether or not we work together further.What’s your style?
Vintage mixed with new. Personality and character, but peaceful — never busy. We design homes that feel like they’ve been collected over decades, even when every piece is new.How do I start?
Two paths. For The Edit or smaller projects, book a Consultation — paid, Fridays only, and the fee credits back if you book a package within 30 days. For new builds and full renovations, request a complimentary Discovery Call — a free 30-minute conversation to see if we’re a fit. Either way, the landing page button below is the front door.What happens if we want to move forward after the Consultation?
We’ll send a proposal within 48 hours laying out scope, timeline, and investment. If you sign and pay the deposit, your consultation fee credits back toward your project. Then we kick off.What’s the payment structure?
For packages under $15K, we collect 50% to secure the project and 50% at completion. For larger projects we use milestone payments — usually 50% at signing, 25% at mid-point, 25% at install.Do you offer hourly or à la carte services?
We don’t. We’ve found that flat-fee packages remove the anxiety of “is the clock running?” for you, and let us give the project the attention it deserves. If your project doesn’t fit The Edit or Full Service cleanly, the Consultation is the right first step.Ready to begin?
