This Mother daughter-duo is huge on individuality, uniqueness, and something out of the ordinary especially when it comes to the customer.  

Molly McCorkle and her mother Julie Cutter are living the Ashland dream with their interior design business, Bon Bon Décor.  

From dorm rooms to large corporations Bon Bon Décor has, “something for everyone.” phrased McCorkle.  

Each job is different from the last because no two clients are alike.  Starting with a free consolation, the client and McCorkle discuss what theme, decorations, furniture, and colors are desired.  

Once a plan has been discussed, McCorkle will look for inspiration in all different places. She specifically looks for, “unique and not mass-produced things”, while also keeping it local.  

While working with a client, her goal is to keep things fresh, new, exciting, and affordable with a rate of $25 an hour. Although, if you are a student at Ashland University, you can get a discount on your dorm room. 

McCorkle’s favorite part of the job is to breathe new life into older furniture. She enjoys finding unusual pieces of furniture and giving them a new purpose. “I try to keep [every job] fresh, new, and exciting.” 

Cutter and McCorkle have been in business for a few years.  

So far, they have worked with Ashland’s Good Sheperd Home, Ashland University Seminary Building, and a newer business in town, Cartolina on Main.  

So, what inspired this mother daughter duo to start this business?  

A little over 27 years ago, McCorkle graduated as a first-generation college student from Antonelli College at the Cincinati branch with an interior design degree. Her definition of interior design is a way to, “help you create a space that reflects your personality and interest, not the latest design trends.”  For about seven years she’s been doing small jobs on the side.  

Her mother, however, has worked in the paint and lumber industry for years at places like Lowes and Farm Home and Hardware.  

Cutter even moved from Florida to help her daughter with her dream of owning a small business.  

McCorkle said, “[My mother] keeps me in line, on the straight and narrow, organized, and on track.” 

Speaking of on track, Bon Bon Décor has some new developments in the works.  

In May, the owners will be opening the doors to their brick-and-mortar building located on Luther Street in a part of the old Gilberts building. This location will be, “a great place to find something you wouldn’t in other places,” stated McCorkle.  

McCorkle is always, “open to anything, I like designing for anyone and everyone.”
