Rebecca McCracken
There’s an old saying that if the shoe fits, wear it – and for Rebecca McCracken, interior designer at The Summer House, the “designer’s shoe” has been a natural fit since childhood.
Although she explored other paths in college, she ultimately embraced her lifelong passion for interior design and has never looked back.
Rebecca’s father is a contractor in Rabun County, so she grew up seeing houses rise from the ground up, envisioning the finished project, and watching her dad bring homeowners’ dreams to fruition. Watching turned into action when, during her teens, she helped him design a floorplan for a spec house – a formative moment that showed her how design transforms a structure into something deeply personal.
While attending college in Atlanta, she kept her toes dipped in the industry, working weekends for an interior designer in Peachtree Hills, running design errands, perusing showrooms, and seeing antique European pieces being incorporated into beautiful new designs. The mix of old and new intrigued her, an aesthetic that still influences her today.
With over 12 years of experience, the last four at The Summer House in Highlands, Rebecca excels at helping her clients craft elegant, livable spaces that reflect their personalities.
Whether you’re building your dream home, redecorating an existing home, or revitalizing or updating a single room or space, Rebecca has the unique ability to envision your dreams and make them a reality. Her extensive knowledge of materials, craftsmanship, and spatial planning can provide you with a truly creative and customized look. Her clients immediately appreciate and relate to her knowledge of and comfort level around all phases of construction and design.
Rebecca works primarily in the Highlands and Cashiers markets these days, but her services are in demand in Rabun County as well, and in fact, one of her more unusual projects is currently in Rabun County – a hangar house. That’s right, airplane hangar on the bottom, approachable and livable up top.
Rebecca lives in Lakemont with her daughter, and in her spare time, she enjoys the outdoors, enjoying the wonder and beauty of nature. It’s her favorite way to relax, but her designer’s eye is always open to the beauty around her, and she finds that nature is a source of constant inspiration. In fact, she says, “How could you live and work in one of the prettiest places on earth and not sense the connection between nature and art?”
