About Us
We’re Fran and Mandy—friends turned business partners who share a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces that reflect real life (yes, even with 5 boys and 5 dogs between us!).
Fran, a native of Augusta, GA, moved to North Carolina after attending Appalachian State—and never looked back. She now lives in Raleigh with her husband, three boys, and three rescue dogs.
Mandy was born and raised in Tarboro, NC and is a UNC-Chapel Hill grad. She and her family—two boys and two golden retrievers—now call Winston-Salem home.
We met over a decade ago, bonded over vintage furniture, and launched our first business, Polished Picks. Over time, that passion evolved into Polished Home Interiors, our way of blending style and function to help others fall in love with their homes.
From wine and pretty dresses to lamps and textiles, we’re always on the hunt for the next design gem. We’ve spent over 10 years on online platforms, tracking trends, discovering emerging artists, and answering endless design questions. We’ve lived through the chaos of teenage boys and laundry piles—and still believe every space can spark joy.
Our mission? To make designing your home feel approachable, creative, and 100% attainable.
