Design that works hard and looks good doing it.
BIENVENUE & CO.
WORK WITH MERIDITH
Virtual Design
Whether you need help choosing tile that doesn’t make you cry or want a full-blown room plan with materials, mood boards, and layout guidance—I’ve got options. Perfect for long-distance or DIY-friendly projects.
In-Person Projects
Based in northern NH and working alongside my husband at Houseal Construction, we offer full-service design + build work for kitchen, bath, and whole-home renovations.
Furniture, Art & Home Finds
I refinish and reimagine vintage furniture with love, power tools, and a lot of sanding. I also create original artwork and one-off home decor pieces—whatever I'm feeling inspired by at the moment. Think: hand-drawn illustrations, fluted side tables, reworked dressers, and little projects that bring beauty into everyday spaces.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Kyle and Meredith! Every other contractor we've ever worked with has asked "what's your budget" and then found a way to spend all of it. Kyle and Meredith asked "what do you want in your bathroom" and then told us what it would cost. That kind of transparency is so rare and so refreshing in this business. Meredith did and great job sourcing materials and turning our vague ideas into something more beautiful than we could have imagined. Kyle and his team were so efficient and left the house better than they found it each day so living through the construction was a breeze. We had such a great experience, we've already hired them again for a kitchen project. Highly recommend.

“We engaged Houseal Construction to renovate our primary and secondary bathrooms this year. They were timely (in providing an estimate, starting and completing the project), easy to communicate with, and produced quality work. Meridith balanced between function, budget and design, and came up with options that we ordinarily would not have considered. We are glad we trusted her because we now have two beautiful bathrooms that we LOVE. Kyle and his crew were friendly, and kept things neat and tidy, which we appreciated because we were living in the house during the reno. It was truly a pleasure to collaborate with them on this project!”
Meet Bienvenue & Co.
I’m Meridith—a designer, mom of three, and COO of Houseal Construction, the design-build renovation company my husband Kyle and I built from the ground up.
Bienvenue & Co is our creative offshoot—a design studio focused on interiors, layout planning, bathroom kits, and the functional, beautiful, real-life side of home design.
I work with people who are tired of decision fatigue and just want their home to make sense—without giving up personality, warmth, or that “hell yes” feeling when the right tile shows up.
I’m not here to sell you perfection. I’m here to help you make smart, confident design choices that fit your life, your budget, and your weird little hallway that was clearly added during a questionable remodel in 1986.
I believe in hardworking spaces, vintage charm, a healthy amount of beige, thoughtful details, and just the right amount of “screw it, let’s paint it black.”
Why Work With Us?
Because you want a space that works hard, looks great, and actually feels like home.
Because you’re done second-guessing every tile, light, and cabinet pull.
Because you want someone who understands budgets and beauty.
Because you’re craving calm, not chaos.
