Store Manager

“ I can help you with your total design, from start to finish.”

"As long as I can remember I’ve always wanted to decorate department store windows. I’ve worked over 30 years setting windows and showroom floors creating atmospheres that inspire shoppers to decorate their homes. I also have an extensive floral background that has enabled me to help hundreds of people. Now that I’ve opened the floral department at Lea Matthews, I can do so much more for my clients. I have unlimited resources at my fingertips, including furniture and accessories. The sky is the limit! I can help you with your total design, from start to finish. Of course, I’ve built my reputation on floral design and accessorizing; but I’d love to help you with everything. "

“Creating a beautiful room takes more than just beautiful furniture.”

"I graduated from Murray State University in 2001 with a degree in design. As part of my education I did my internship at Lea Matthews. After graduation I accepted an entry-level position within the company. I am now the visual manager and assistant store manager. Lea Matthews has been a wonderful learning field that has enhanced my talents as a designer. Creating a beautiful room takes more than just beautiful furniture. Color, scale, balance, and good taste are all integral parts of a good display and choosing the right accessories takes talent and expertise. Since we sell all our merchandise off the floor and bring in new furniture and accessories daily, my job is a real challenge . . . and I love it!"

"Create more than just a beautiful home, create an extension of yourself."

"I have been doing design work for several years and to me it's not just a routine process. Good design involves getting to know you, your personality, your likes and dislikes, and your unique sense of style. I believe that when all of the elements of design come together, you've created more than just a beautiful home, you've created an extension of yourself . . .consider it therapy for your home!"

“ I am able to create rooms with harmony and balance.”

"As a graduate of Ringling School of Art & Design in Sarasota, Florida, I have actively pursued a career in interior design. I enjoy working with color, texture and style. I never tire of the challenges and versatility presented to me in this wonderful career I have chosen. I realize your home is a reflection of you. It should be furnished and accessorized to fit your lifestyle and your taste. I find by listening closely to my clients (my partners in design), I am able to create rooms with harmony and balance -- rooms they look forward to coming home to to finish out the very best part of a day. Let me help you achieve your goals and start enjoying the domain you call home."

“Expressive, innovative, functional and personalize to your style . . .”

"Expressive, innovative, functional, and personalized to you and the way you live set the tone for the approach I take with my clients. My goal is to guide you through the design process and assist you in making every decision from the larger, more important investment decisions down to the smallest accessorizing detail. Since the home reflects the personalities of the people inside, it’s my objective to listen to your concerns and ideas and then to translate them, encouraging you to consider all aspects of design."

Contact me.  I would love to help you express yourself through your most important place . . .your home.”


Amanda Noble

“I help people create spaces of their dreams . . .”

"When I was a child I had an inclination to put my 64 Crayolas in color order before I even began to color! So, needless to say color has always been an important, natural part of my life. I love bringing that passion for color harmony, balance, texture, and good design into the plan when working with my clients. To make that love even more successful, I studied Interior Design and graduated from Ivy Tech here in Evansville with an Associates degree in Environmental Design with a specialty in Interiors. Working as an Interior Designer, I have had the good fortune to help people create spaces of their dreams. I am here to work with clients, making their ideas reality with suggestions on color, balance, texture and good design."
