Just two handy-women with an eye for design

helping guide the process, making it less overwhelming from design to implementation.

Our Approach: The Missing Middle

Two women smiling outdoors on a sunny day, standing close together in a backyard with a yellow bench and green grass.

“We’re not interior designers—and that’s intentional. We’re hands-on handy-women with an eye for design.

We sit in the middle between design and construction. We don’t overthink it. We listen. We ask the right questions. We take your inspiration, your lifestyle, and your budget into account—and help you make confident decisions. Once you are ready to move forward, we make the introductions to our trusted partners and stay involved from start to finish.”

- Meaghan and Aileen

  • Aileen Passariello-McAleer

    OWNER

    From MamaLingua to real estate to Renew Rekindle, Aileen is a lifelong entrepreneur. She thrives on bringing ideas together and guiding them as they grow into something meaningful and lasting.

    Aileen recognized the magic she and Meaghan shared as two hands-on women with deep experience and a shared love for homes that truly work for the people living in them.

    Her strength lies in seeing the big picture while expertly managing all the moving parts behind a successful project — making the process feel organized, intentional, and far less overwhelming for homeowners.

  • Meaghan Bruyn

    OWNER

    Meaghan brings warmth, intuition, and clarity to every project. After a 10-year career in teaching, she chose to step away from the classroom to focus on her true passion: home design and helping people feel confident in their spaces and decisions.

    She grew up in a home where remodeling and design were part of everyday life, with an interior designer mom and a hands-on, do-it-all dad. That upbringing gave her a natural eye for design and a deep appreciation for how thoughtful spaces support real life.

    Meaghan’s special sauce? A calm, thoughtful approach paired with a true “magic wand” for pulling together beautiful, livable homes — always with people (and families) in mind.
