About our clients
Our clients appreciate the art of living graciously and value homes that are classic, welcoming, and cheerful. They seek spaces that blend comfort with timeless tradition, heritage, style, and the joy of everyday elegance.
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL
Julie Anne Baur
Julie Anne specializes in creating fresh traditional and transitional interiors enhanced with beautiful antiques or beloved family heirlooms to add character and classic style.
She loves working with clients who are excited about the design process but want to rely on a designer to handle the hundreds of details needed to lead a project smoothly from start to finish.
Having lived in Hyde Park for over 20 years, Julie Anne and her team serve clients from their current Hyde Park location, just a few blocks from her home, where she and her husband recently finished raising 3 young adult sons (after which her home still looks as good as ever, in spite of the boys’ best efforts to destroy it).
Julie Anne grew up in South Florida and graduated from Vanderbilt University where she met her husband, Jeff. After college, she moved to Cincinnati, earned a Masters Degree from Xavier University, and studied Interior Design at The Art Institute of Ohio before founding Winding Lane interiors in 2014.
Julie Anne’s hobbies include Pilates, traveling with her husband, and reading books (especially romantic comedies, mysteries, and historical fiction).
MEET THE TEAM
We’re a small, passionate team who work closely together to bring warmth, character, and ease to every space we design.

Jen does all of our ordering, handles our client invoicing and billing, serves as our vendor liaison, handles any issues that may arise, and is in charge of many of the details that are inherent to ensuring that everything at Winding Lane Interiors runs like a well-oiled machine. She is the calming force in a studio full of creatives, and she helps keep us organized and on top of everything.

GIVING BACK
New Life Furniture Bank
At Winding Lane Interiors, we believe everyone deserves a beautiful home. That’s why we volunteer with New Life Furniture Bank’s Design With A Heart program, transforming empty houses into welcoming havens for families in need.
We also support their annual Party In The House gala as a Champion Designer, raising funds by redesigning donated furniture pieces for auction.
A thoughtfully furnished space brings comfort, dignity, and joy—reminding each family they are valued and loved by their neighbors.
