a new chapter

Rooted in heritage. Designed for what's next.

Hi friends,

I’m so excited (and honestly, a little emotional) to share something really meaningful: Amber Marques Interiors has officially rebranded—and with that, we’re entering a fresh, inspired chapter of growth and purpose. You may have already noticed a new look, a new logo, and an updated feel across our platforms. But this is more than just a visual refresh—it’s a reflection of where we’re headed and the heart behind our work.

The Meaning Behind The Olive Branch

When I decided to reimagine my brand and create a space where I could truly share my voice, it felt only right to start with what inspires me most: home. For me, home is Olive—our sweet, mini goldendoodle, who has a way of bringing peace and comfort into every room. Naming her felt sacred. She’s more than just a pet; she’s a reminder of what really matters: love, calm, and the kind of comfort you can only find at home. The olive branch in my new logo represents that quiet, steady energy she brings to our lives every day.

Home, too, begins with my three children. The three olives on the branch in my logo are a tribute to them—because, at the heart of everything I do, they are my foundation. They inspire me, challenge me, and remind me of what it means to truly be present. As I help others create spaces, I want that same feeling of rootedness, that same sense of connection and warmth, to live in every room. The olive branch became the perfect symbol for this journey—peaceful, purposeful, and full of growth. And, it inspired the name of this new blog. It’s more than just a title—it’s an embodiment of the spirit I hope to share with you here. A place where creativity, inspiration, and connection can take root. Where we can explore design, family, and life together—honestly, intentionally, and from the heart. Through this space, I want to bring the same feeling of home that the olive branch represents for me: warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging.

The truth is: This next chapter of Amber Marques Interiors is all about growth—about stretching outward and growing while staying deeply rooted in what matters most. I’m branching out in new ways—creatively and personally—leaning into a more thoughtful, connected approach to design and life. For me, it’s never been just about creating beautiful rooms (though I love that part!). It’s about crafting spaces that reflect the people who live in them—spaces that feel authentic, personal, and truly lived in.

And that’s the essence of The Olive Branch—a more intimate space, a journal of sorts, where I’ll share the inspiration behind my designs, my reflections on life and creativity, and the personal style that continues to evolve. It’s where I’ll explore the quiet moments, the colors, and the textures that fuel my work—those little sparks of inspiration that guide the way I design. You’ll also see the life lessons that often show up in the way a room comes together, and how it all fits into the bigger picture of what it means to live authentically.

My hope is that this space becomes more than just a blog. I want it to be a place of connection—a space where ideas can take root, creativity can flourish, and where you’ll feel inspired to create a home and life that truly reflect who you are.

The Olive Branch is my heart laid out on the page—my story, my inspirations, my musings, and my invitation for you to join me on this journey.

From Shoppe Abode to Our Studio

Some of you may know me through Shoppe Abode, the little lifestyle store that grew from our design studio. It started as a fun way to share the curated pieces I love, but as my design business continued to flourish, I started feeling the pull to streamline—to pour everything into what I truly love most: interior design.

So, moving forward, Shoppe Abode will officially transition into the Amber Marques Interiors Design Studio. This new space is 100% focused on design—on working closely with our clients, hosting design consultations, building out projects, and creating homes that truly reflect who you are and how you live.

It’s not goodbye to Shoppe Abode—it’s just a deeper alignment with our mission. We’re creating a space that allows us to be more present, more intentional, and more connected to the people we serve.

What This Means for You

This shift gives us the freedom to dig deeper into every design, every detail, and every story we help bring to life. We’re building a studio rooted in the values we’ve always held close—curation, craftsmanship, and collaboration—and bringing that energy into every project we take on.

As we grow, I want you to know this: this will always be a space for beauty, function, and inspiration. A space that evolves alongside you.

Let’s Stay Connected

This blog will be the new home for project reveals, design tips, and all kinds of inspiration for your home (and maybe even your heart). Whether you're dreaming of a renovation or just love beautiful things, I hope it becomes a resource you return to again and again.

Thank you—truly—for being part of this journey. I can't wait to see where we go next, together.

With love and gratitude,
Amber
