When the young couple who owns this home first got married, they did what most newlyweds do: combined their stuff and made do for a while. “It was kind of conglomerated together with anything we’d had in the past,” says the wife. “They kind of knew what they liked, but I don’t think they really knew what their style was,” says interior designer Maggie Jewell, who knows the couple well. “By the time they got ready to plan for this house, they were more in sync as a couple, and they knew what they wanted.”

Maggie Stieven Jewell has grown up with the interior design gene. She has followed in her mom Mary Stieven's, footsteps by transforming homes all across the St. Louis area with her designer touch. Jewell worked alongside her mother at MKS Designs for nine years, solely running the business the last four years. In 2014, she started her own design business to allow her the flexibility to be both a mom and a designer.
