I Love everything HOME. From dig out to move in and every aspect in between, you can count me in. I thrive on a good challenge and love a great brainstorm session with caffeine and an oversized white board. My personal design style is very much a perfectly curated mixture of modern, coastal and transitional finishes. I love a bold contrast but am still a true sucker for a white on white room with floor to ceiling windows. I love movie nights with my littles, traveling with my husband, the St. Louis Cardinals, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and designing in the 417. I am beyond proud of our amazing team of extremely talented people and eager to see how we can continue to grow.‍

I studied fashion merchandising and art at MSU and have worked in home fashions, design, and decor for over 20 years. My husband, Eric, and I have 3 amazing kids who keep us very busy with their activities and also thoroughly entertained. When we're able to carve out some free time, we enjoy a good concert, ski trips to Colorado, floating down the Buffalo, and any beach vacation! I also love hosting gatherings at our house. The more the merrier! I like an eclectic mix of design—incorporating personal treasures and styles into current trends to form a cohesive and updated look that is beautiful, functional and authentic to the client. Deciding on the function of a space and how you want to feel in it is what I always want to know first. Also, from a decorating standpoint, I'm all about showcasing accessories that you love and what makes you happy—then building the design concept around that.

I've been married to my soul mate Tony for 42 years now. We have 1 handsome son Thomas and 2 amazing 8-year-old twin grandsons Samuel and Sawyer. We love to camp, fish, four-wheel, and dirt bike. After 20 years of being a Dental Asst. I retired and Chelsee gave me an opportunity to work at her then-boutique. After the boutique closed. She offered me a job at her Design business. I've been here for over a year. I've learned so much about designing from Chelsee and the team. What a blessing to come to work and love what you do every day!

I'm Kaylie Kleinschmidt, born and raised in Cedar Falls, Iowa and relocated to Springfield to attend Missouri State University. I graduated from MSU with a degree in Interior Design and a Minor in Construction Management. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my dog Renley, antique shopping, and exploring new areas around Springfield. Here at Chelsee Sowder Interior Design I take design concepts and transform them into three dimensional designs to give a realistic approach of what your project will look like. I love being able to see your projects come to life and working with a team that will fulfill all of your needs!

I was born and raised in Springfield and graduated from Missouri State University with my degree in Interior Design. I love traveling to the mountains and enjoying nature but I also enjoy spending time in my home with my cat Gizmo and a ridiculous amount of candles. I love hosting dinner parties and craft nights with my friends. I would say my personal design taste is an eclectic melting pot. I’m absolutely in love with mid-century design and enjoy the challenge of finding the perfect vintage pieces. On the flip side, I love the simplicity of contemporary design and elegance of traditional design.
