THE HOME RESET
Start where a change would make the biggest difference.
I work hands-on to organize, rearrange, source and refine — using what you already have before adding anything new.
One room, one problem, or the whole home.
Home as foundation
I’m Marguerite Imbert Hines. I work hands-on in your home — editing, organizing, rearranging, sourcing and solving what isn’t working. I bring in trusted assistants or craftspeople when a project calls for them.
That can mean reorganizing a pantry, rethinking furniture placement, improving storage, sourcing the missing piece, repairing something worth keeping, styling a room or carrying a personal project through.
01
First I go through closets, drawers, cabinets, storage and the things that have accumulated. Together, we decide what stays, what moves, what gets sold or donated, and what may be repaired. Seeing what you already own — and actually use — reveals what the household needs, prevents unnecessary purchases and gives every design decision a clearer starting point.
02
Once the home is edited, I can see what will make the biggest difference. I rearrange furniture, improve layout and lighting, repair worthwhile pieces and source what is missing — often vintage or secondhand. I use what is already good first, then make selective new purchases when they truly earn their place.
03
Then we bring forward the things that make the home yours: family photographs, heirlooms, wedding flowers, children’s art, books, collections, travel objects and meaningful possessions. I can help with framing, placement, restoration, presentation or a custom solution. The goal is a home that feels like the people who live there.
A More Personal Layer
Some of the most interesting projects begin with something you already own.
I develop the idea, find the right craftsperson when needed, and carry it through to completion.
Use what is good. Fix what can be better. Buy only what earns its place.
About Marguerite
I have an editor’s instinct for a home: what belongs, what distracts, what is missing and what makes the whole distinctive.
My background spans editorial, food, hospitality, wellness and private households. I’m especially drawn to what people have stopped noticing—an overfilled closet, an unfinished room, photographs still in albums, or a good object waiting for the right solution.
When I finally had a home of my own and began investing real attention in it, my life started to take shape around it. I got my dog, met my husband not long after, and stepped more fully into my work. That is part of why I take the physical home seriously: it can become the place from which the rest of life grows.
I work hands-on, bringing in trusted assistants, craftspeople and specialists when a project calls for them.

A little more room for life
When the house is working, more of your attention is available for the ideas, work and projects that matter to you.
More ways to work together
Beyond private homes, I also work on shared spaces, personal wardrobes and family transitions.
