About Priscilla O'Kelly Wilkinson

From a very early age I was always interested in interior design and decorating. I was fortunate to have been raised around artists and designers. My grandfather, Frederick E. Kelley was a designer & builder of custom log cabins in New England and my family is filled with generations of builders and artists. I apprenticed in my younger days to become an interior decorator and have decorated hundreds of private residences, commercial venues, and events over the past 19 years.

One of my specialties is that I love color! I adore the use of striking and interesting colors in my designs, whether it’s a simple monochromatic scheme reflecting the seaside landscape with the lovely tones of sand, pebbles, sea grasses and water… so elegant and understated, or a vibrant and bold upscale Euro palette with juicy mango, kiwi, balmy yellows and crisp blues…or a sensual and mysterious array of exotic jewel tones that invite you into the space. I have many various interests that I bring to my designs. I have a fondness for lovely old things, antiques, interesting found objects, unusual textiles and glassware but I also have a strong appreciation and love for contemporary design as well, and it’s courageous use of color, clean lines and pleasurable styling.

I am a native of Portland, Maine but have had the wonderful opportunity to travel, live & work in many areas over the past 14 years since leaving Portland, which only broadened my design skills. Each and every city we lived in brought new and exciting challenges with decorating. While living in the mountains of Vermont in more recent years, I not only discovered the warm, richness of lodge styled homes, but I also had the chance to travel frequently to the amazing city of Montreal, QC. Where I gained an even stronger adoration for the bold, snappy use of color they are so fond of. I lovingly bring all of these elements to the designs I create for my clients’ homes and businesses.

I look forward to working with you and helping your create a home or event that you feel truly reflects your own personal style.

Be well,
