Welcome.

If you’re here, it may be because you like pretty things. Good news - so do I!

I’m Gretchen Rose, owner of Kentucky Rose Designs, est. 2017.

I am a wife and mother of 2 littles under 3 years old living in Louisville, KY. We also have a couple of fur babies that you’ll occasionally see in some of my design work. While I am formally trained as ICU Nurse, I turned my badge in back in 2023 and haven’t looked back. Now, I get to help people in a very different way! In my spare time, you will probably find me training for a marathon at 5am with my besties.

I grew up on a farm in central Kentucky, and spent most of my time with my 3 siblings and our horses - barrel racing, pole bending, and just generally doing farm things and scaring our parents half to death.

My rural Kentucky upbringing influenced my design aesthetic - you will often see nods to the equestrian world in my spaces and no shortage of vintage pieces.

I love what I do and I am honored to have the opportunity to help people love their homes more than they ever thought they could.

Let’s get started.
