hello
nice to meet you!
Host House + Sea Blush Studios was born out of a love for all things home and entertaining
Carmel-by-the-Sea based businesses, Host House and Sea Blush Studios have joined forces to offer a unique approach to interior design and entertaining options. Together, the design duo, Robin and Heather, have curated a unique collection of furniture, decor, and housewares to help make the design process seamless and enjoyable. Customizable offerings include furniture packages, styling and staging, as well as complete home stocking services featuring pieces ranging from kitchen and barware, to bed and bath linens, to styling and accent pieces.
As dedicated dance and Stevenson School moms both based in Carmel, Robin and Heather met supporting their daughters while volunteering in the local dance community, and bonded over a mutual love of design and creating modern interiors for casual living.
