About Caitlin

Hi there! I’m Caitlin and I am the creative behind The Picket Fence Projects, which began in 2013 as a way to document the home improvement projects my husband and I undertook in our first house. Since then, The Picket Fence Projects has evolved to encompass not only our new home but also designing spaces for clients under my business Swann Design. My design philosophy centers around creating uncluttered, relaxing environments that reflect each client's unique style and needs. My work often features a blend of new and vintage elements, and a thoughtful mix of high and low furnishings, ensuring that every space feels both beautiful and personal. I believe that every home, regardless of size or budget, deserves to be a sanctuary that embodies the charm of the proverbial white picket fence dream.

I reside in coastal Fairfield County, CT with my husband Chris and three children. When I’m not immersed in home design or client projects, I enjoy our local beach with family and friends, spending time at my family’s A-frame in the Catskills, or savoring sushi date nights with Chris.
