A Fresh Take in The Woods of St. Thomas with Reflections of You, by Amy

In The Woods of St. Thomas, one family decided it was time to make their house feel a little more like them. So they called in designer Amy Wagner, founder of Reflections of You, by Amy, to help bring new life and personality into their home. With nearly 20 years in the business, Amy is known for creating spaces that are both beautiful and livable, with a style that reflects the people who live there. 

In this project, she helped the homeowners make some smart, simple changes that made a big difference. The formal living room was reimagined as a grand dining room, perfect for hosting family dinners or holiday gatherings. A colorful powder room adds a fun, unexpected twist. And in the kitchen, affordable updates like painting the island, changing out the countertops, swapping in new lighting, and adding fresh counter stools gave the space an entirely new vibe without a full renovation. 

One of Amy’s strengths is knowing where to make bold moves and where to keep things practical. In the powder room, for instance, she used a splash of color and playful design choices to turn a small space into a statement moment. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, her updates kept the existing layout intact but elevated the look and feel with just a few thoughtful touches. Proof that you don’t need to gut a room to make it feel brand new, you just need the right eye and a clear vision. 

What really sets Amy apart is her collaborative approach. She listens first, designs second, and makes sure every space reflects the way her clients actually live. Whether it’s finding the perfect paint color or rethinking how a room is used, she brings her expertise and a down-to-earth perspective that makes the process feel easy and even fun. This project is a great example of what happens when thoughtful design meets real-life needs, and the results speak for themselves.
