Meet Your Designer
Meet Sally
Sally Keeney's life has been shaped by contrasting influences, blending the Texas ranch experience with a passion for gracious living. Growing up in East Texas on a working cattle ranch, she spent her mornings in the barn, and her afternoons redecorating her childhood playhouse, equipped with modern amenities like running water and air conditioning. Sally’s mother, a paragon of elegance, was a huge creative influence in her life.
After attending Baylor University and later university of Texas at Austin, she settled in Tyler; and there her exceptional design talents began to draw attention, with friends and acquaintances eagerly seeking her expertise.
For a time, Sally owned a delightful retail shop named "Windows Wonderful." This store was home to her design studio and featured a curated selection of beautifully crafted drapery panels, pillows, accessories, floral arrangements, antiques, bedding, rugs, and furniture.
Sally's appreciation for entertaining and creating inviting spaces reflects her upbringing, where classic design elements are infused with warmth and hospitality. She attributes her talents and opportunities to the Lord, expressing gratitude for the gifts that have allowed her to transform spaces into reflections of beauty and functionality.
