Who We Are

The Pipia name belonged to my maternal great grandmother. There was an undeniable look she would give that said she meant business. Little did she know this look would be passed down for generations. This “look” was not the only trait that was passed down throughout the generations. To this day, the women in my family carry the same work ethic, conviction, dreams, and determination in their every day lives, as she did.

The Pipia Look is more than just a look. It is a vision. It’s the desire to see more than what meets the eye.

My mother and I started designing by sharing mornings watching HGTV over coffee and sketching ideas in our sketchbooks. After furthering our education, time, and experience (design and construction) we have created space in this little corner of the world to create beautiful designs.

Our mission is to make spaces functional, inspiring, and most importantly - a reflection of ones inner self.

Welcome to The Pipia Look!

  • “Francesca transformed my basic one-rod closet into my dream closet with so much storage and a beautiful, functional design. She made the most of every inch of space and was wonderful to work with. I couldn't be happier with the result and highly recommend her!”

    —Sarah Welhous

  • "When I became a first time home owner, I felt so eager to begin the new chapter I'd been dreaming about for so long. However, configuring my house into a home felt incredibly overwhelming, and I struggled to decide where or how to begin. Working with Francesca proved not only to be incredibly helpful practically, but the process felt creative, joyful, and supportive. She took the time to take in my scattered thoughts/preferences, then organized and translated a vision that is honestly everything I was hoping for and so much more. We built and continue to build each room, mindfully, piece by piece - an approach that has helped me build confidence in making decisions! I'm so grateful to have found The Pipia Look and couldn't recommend collaborating with Francesca more wholeheartedly!!"
