Designing in the Studio

---

Over the River Studio was built in 2018 by Debra Mortimer. Years of entertaining, wedding and event planning along with sewing home decor left Debbie with a large stash of fabric, vases, dining linens, votive candles, and accent elements. She decided to sell some of these excess items on a crafters platform. Very quickly, as sales started to come in, she realized that many people shared her love of beautiful items for special events and to decorate their homes. Debbie started curating a collection of fabrics and items that have become the basis for the Studio now.

Graciousness is the key element of the ideas, inspirations, and items in the Studio. We hope to help others find a special way to create a more fulfilling environment that will promote happy memories for families and friends. We know that getting together with those you love will enrich lives - yours and theirs. We believe that even the smallest element in a place where it can be seen regularly adds a touch of joy to each day. 

Over the River Studio has grown and we now stock our items in a big warehouse at our Fresno, California location. All the table linens, including our exclusive Hot Pad Table Runner, are designed and hand sewn here in the Studio. The fabrics we use are not only beautiful but extremely durable. We source beautiful, high quality items from some great companies.  Gorgeous fabrics and finishes can create a custom feeling in your surroundings. We know that creating a unique tablescape with design items that you love will make each gathering and special event even more memorable for family and friends. We take pride in our quick shipping times to get your items to you as soon as possible.

Be sure to look around the Inspirations page to start finding ways to create new traditions and gatherings that will be long remembered. Some of our blog articles can help you get started entertaining or expand and simplify your intimate events.
