Today I am joined by Martha Midgette! Martha is a Raleigh, NC-based interior designer and lifestyle curator known for creating classic and colorful interiors—collected, curated, and elevated—that serve as the backdrop for life’s most cherished moments. As the founder of Martha Midgette Designs, she thoughtfully blends timeless tradition with contemporary touches, often incorporating meaningful pieces and family heirlooms that anchor each space in personal history.

Since founding her firm in 2019, Martha has led projects across North Carolina and the East Coast, encompassing a range of initiatives from large-scale renovations and new builds to individual room transformations. Her work reflects a deep appreciation for beauty, balance, and the lived experience of home—creating collected, curated, and classic interiors that honor tradition while embracing warmth and everyday livability.

Born and raised in Raleigh, Martha draws on over a decade of experience in the nonprofit sector and project management. This background infuses her approach with empathy, clarity, and purpose—ensuring every design not only looks beautiful but functions seamlessly for the people who call it home.

Beyond interiors, Martha shares her favorite finds in home, fashion, and family—spotlighting both luxury and everyday pieces that reflect her graceful, refined style. A mom of two, she brings an authentic and approachable perspective to design and life, inspiring others to find beauty in balance and intention.

In this episode, Martha and I talk about her career in the nonprofit world, why it is so important to her to give back, how to take initiative, what it was like working two jobs for a few years, her interior design process and so much more!
