ABOUT TIMELESS LIVING DESIGNS
a haven of
comfort and tranquility, uniquely designed for your holistic well-being.
At Timeless Living Designs, we help women navigating life transitions—whether through loss, change, or reinvention—transform their homes into sanctuaries that nurture healing, calm, and a renewed sense of self.
Through our signature 4‑month experience, The Sanctuary Shift™, we create healthy, elegant, and deeply personal interiors that do more than look beautiful. Using natural materials, stress-reducing elements, and timeless, layered design, we craft spaces that feel safe, comforting, and aligned with the woman you are becoming.
Whether you’re reimagining your family home, downsizing into something new, or creating a restorative retreat, our work blends wellness and beauty to create a home that supports your life’s next chapter—and honors the memories and legacy you carry with you.
Let’s create a sanctuary that truly holds and heals you.

Rachel Schemmerling
Founder, Timeless Living Designs & The Ginger Jar Society
Growing up in a 275-year-old Colonial home in Madison, Connecticut, and working at the historic Mount Washington Hotel, Rachel was always deeply inspired by the timeless connection between people and their homes. But her path took on new meaning when a chronic autoimmune diagnosis—and her own seasons of loss and transition—taught her that true design goes far beyond beauty.
A home can do more than look good.
It can hold you, heal you, and help you breathe again.
Today, through Timeless Living Designs, Rachel helps women navigating life-altering change—grief, divorce, illness, or the quiet reinvention of an empty nest—create soul-aligned sanctuaries that nurture both body and spirit.
Through her signature 4‑month program, The Sanctuary Shift™, Rachel and her team blend luxury interior design with wellness-centered coaching to transform homes into restorative spaces that reflect who you are now and support the woman you’re becoming. Every detail—calming palettes, sustainable materials, soulful styling—is tailored to offer comfort, peace, and a deep sense of belonging.
For those craving connection and inspiration beyond their personal transformation, Rachel also leads The Ginger Jar Society™—a community for women embracing slow living, meaningful rituals, and self-discovery. Through retreats and curated gatherings, it offers a place to heal, connect, and begin again—together.
At Timeless Living Designs, we don’t just create beautiful homes. We craft sanctuaries that help you heal, grow, and write your next chapter.

in-home consultation
If we find that we're aligned and excited to move forward, the next step is the Design Insight Consultation. This is where we'll meet in person to delve deeper into your project.
Prior to our meeting, I'll provide you with a detailed questionnaire to complete. This questionnaire is designed to gather essential information about your needs, preferences, and priorities, helping me understand how to prioritize our time together during our consultation.
We'd love to meet you and discuss your project. In order to create from a place of inspiration and allow dedicated attention to each client, we only accept a limited number of clients each year. To start the process, please inquire by following the link below.
