A Mississippi native, Traci Lewis relocated from Southaven to Tupelo just ten years ago. Although she spent years as a Registered Nurse, including time on a helicopter transport team, her passion for interior design soon won out. With a particular passion for textiles and fine linens, Traci leapt in by launching JTL Linens at The Farmhouse. To no one’s surprise, her interests and her business blossomed. That little endeavor grew to become The Farmhouse Tupelo, and now – Blairhaus.
When Traci isn’t indulging her fondness for home fashion, she’s spending time with her greatest love; her family. With a wonderful husband, three great children, and four fun-loving dogs, Traci is equally happy traveling about or just hanging out. She’s ever-thankful for her family’s support and involvement in everything she does, including the awesome work she does here at Blairhaus.

Originally from Texas and a newcomer to Mississippi, for Kim Jessing, Interior Design has been an integral part of her world for over 30 years. With an immense love for art, fine craftsmanship, and curated interiors she studied interior design and graduated from the University of North Texas.
She has worked in Dallas, Austin, and California for commercial and residential design companies and volume builders nationwide. This invaluable business experience brought a new level of appreciation,( beyond design) giving greater meaning and joy to her work. In 2007 she started a design and staging company in Salt Lake City, UT allowing her the flexibility to raise her two boys while continuing her career. With her sons grown, it was time to start a new chapter, move closer to her family and come back to her southern roots.
For Kim, sharing her talents, building client relationships and having opportunities to be in her element is her driving joy and creative fulfillment. She is so very excited to be part of the Blairhaus design team and is already enjoying sharing her knowledge of design and renovations with Tupelo, MS and surrounding areas.
