Currently Writing

Today, Tina's work is entering a new chapter. Alongside her career in interior design, she has become a regular newspaper columnist for Positively Haywood and is currently writing several nonfiction books. Her writing explores themes of home, personal growth, resilience, and the experiences that shape who we become. Drawing from decades of professional and personal experience, she continues to encourage others through thoughtful stories and practical insights.

These reflections come from A FEW clients I HAVE had the privilege of serving

throughout my career in interior design.

    We purchased a 25 year old home in WNC which needs a modernizing update.  Not having any idea where to begin I reached out to Tina after reading her philosophy on home design.  It resonated with me that she understands the importance of designing a space to reflect her clients' way of life with joy, beauty, and comfort.  She immediately responded to me, obtained detailed information about our life and lifestyles, and looked over our house to let me know her honest and straightforward thoughts on my options to move forward.   Importantly, she guided me in clarifying my priorities for the project and what she thought my next steps should be.   Tina, thanks again for your generous and invaluable help.  Much happiness and good luck in the future!

    "My wife and I purchased a second home in Waynesville, NC, in 2005. Coming from Ohio, we needed some help with decorating ideas, and we connected with Tina after learning about her experience in home design. The cabin was a generic log cabin that needed our personal touch and comfort. Tina was there from choosing paint colors to arranging furniture. Just this year (2024), we painted the walls of the master bath a neutral shade of white and added new accents under Tina's direction. Tina has also been the tiebreaker when we couldn’t agree on a common theme. It’s been a work in progress for 20 years, and we’re still using Tina’s ideas to fulfill our dream cabin. Life is for learning."

    "We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Tina at Fine Interiors on multiple homes over the years. From North Carolina to Colorado, a hunting lodge in Georgia, and our primary residence in Florida, and I can’t say enough about how much we love, love, love everything she has done for us! She has taken each home from the ground up, handling every detail with such care and skill, from early concept to the final touches, including colors, furnishings, and those personal details that make each space feel like ours. She even custom-designed a few pieces just for us, and they’re truly one-of-a-kind.


    Working with her has been more than a professional experience; it’s like working with a dear friend who just gets you. Her ability to bring our vision to life (and often exceed it!) is remarkable, and I’ve never felt more at ease through the process. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to transform their space into something personal, beautiful, and beyond their expectations."

    "Thank you so much for the beautiful installation of my collection of botanical prints. They look so good. I appreciate the design and precision and your talent. The prints are not valuable works of art, but you treated them as if they were because they are precious to me. Also, I want to thank you for your generosity with your ideas and expertise. I think I have already found the picture perfect for the dining room!

    You're the best."
