For homeowners undertaking a full renovation, addition, or large-scale transformation, this service provides complete leadership from early design planning through construction and final installation.
We begin by understanding your home’s architecture, along with your memories and identity as a family, and then develop a clear design direction that guides every decision that follows. From architectural review to construction documentation, material selections, and on-site coordination, each phase is managed by us with care and continuity.
This approach ensures your finished home feels considered at every level, aligned with its character, supportive of your daily life, and designed with craftsmanship that endures through the next era.

For homes where the structure remains intact but the interiors no longer reflect how you live, this service focuses on reworking the home — and your experience of it — through furnishings, materials, and thoughtful updates.
Our work starts by developing a comprehensive design direction that feels fresh and aligned with you yet natural with the home’s existing character. Then, we coordinate expert trades, oversee procurement, and manage the installation of the design.
The result is a home that feels refreshed and functional, yet still familiar and true to its character.

Designer for a Day Consultation
We manage procurement, coordinate with contractors and trades, and remain involved through construction and installation, ensuring the home is executed with care and consistency.
Implementation
Through conceptual and detailed design phases, we develop a clear direction for your home, refining layouts, materials, and selections so the design is fully documented before implementation begins.
Design
We begin with getting a deep understanding of your home, your priorities, and what has led you to this moment. If aligned, we continue with an in-home meeting and prepare a tailored proposal.

Working with Mary Brighid at Walsh Bourke Interiors was such a delight. We bought our first home and we knew we wanted to do a mini renovation before we moved in. We had some design ideas, but really needed an expert to help pull it all together and that is exactly what Mary Brighid did!
Mary demonstrates exceptional skill and attention to detail. Her ability to seamlessly combine modern aesthetics with functionality, creates spaces that feel both elegant and inviting. The overall appeal of her design, allowed us to get a fantastic offer on this million dollar home.
It was so easy and natural working with you, and we felt how intentional you were with each choice to find the right items for our family and space. We look forward to working with you again!!
Yes. While we love integrating your treasured pieces, Walsh Bourke Interiors procures all new furnishings and materials. This allows us to handle the sourcing, logistics, and quality control from our trusted vendors, ensuring your home is executed exactly as designed with zero stress on your end.
Are materials and furnishings acquired through you?
Investment depends on the scope and level of involvement required. However, for your full clarity, we provide clear guidance during the proposal phase so expectations are aligned from the outset. Once we discuss the desired scope and investment of your project, we will be able to give you a more realistic idea for what’s possible.
What is the typical investment?
Timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. We move deliberately so decisions are made with clarity and in the correct order, preventing delays, revisions, and misalignment later in the project. Once we discuss your specific goals, we’ll provide a refined timeline.
What is a typical project timeline?
Our process is structured, steeped in logistical experience, and fully guided. Each phase builds on the last, allowing decisions to be made thoughtfully as a whole. This approach protects the integrity of the design, reduces the need for revisions, and ensures the home comes together in alignment with our shared vision.
What is the design process like?
We primarily serve the Washington, DC area, including Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Annapolis, with select projects beyond.
What areas do you serve?
At the beginning. Involving a designer early allows decisions to be made in the right order, before plans are finalized or purchases are made. This ensures the home is considered as a whole — especially one that feels intentionally layered, timeless, and lived-in.
