I’m a lifelong Buckeye who came to the big city in 1996 after 8 years at a large Commercial Furniture Dealership in Columbus, Ohio as Marketing and New Business Development Manager, I came to Long Island to work for another great furniture dealership, BFI. At BFI I taught myself AutoCad and began designing commercial spaces. I was then recruited by the folks at Wieland Furniture and that started a very long career with that great company as Territory Manager in New York and New Jersey. I chose to specialize in Healthcare Spaces and designed and furnished spaces in nearly every hospital and healthcare facility in the Tri State area. I love all Design, Furniture, Fabrics and Architectural Materials and anyone that has any dealings with me knows I’m extremely passionate about all of those things (probably overly so….) but it works for me! In 2019 I reevaluated what I really wanted to do, like many of us, and chose to leave my positions and open my own Interiors Consulting Firm, Poppy Lane Interiors. I wanted to share my knowledge and experience with clients and other design professionals I had met over the years. I love networking and meeting new people in my field. If I believe in you I will be your greatest advocate! I also chose to keep representing three manufacturers that I feel meld perfectly together in the commercial arena: ASAP Commercial Flooring, H Contract/Hooker Resimercial Furniture and Artline Group. These 3 manufacturers give me the ability to bring a very unique package to my clients, which include A&D Firms, Contractors, Furniture and Flooring Dealers and Installers. On a personal note, I am married to my hubby Ernie Murphy, who is literally the smartest person I have ever met. He is an Electrical Engineer that invents and tests Hybrid Circuits for a Government Contractor here on Long Island (do NOT ask me what that means!)
I have one Daughter, Jessica, that is the Art Chair at H. Frank Carey High School and she has given me 2 beautiful granddaughters that are the love of my life. (Don’t try to get me to meet on Mondays, that is MeeMaw Monday) My fabulous Son In Law, Chris, is the Manager of Sherwin Williams in Huntington Station – go there and tell him you know me, he will treat you like family.
I absolutely LOVE what I do and I love getting to know my clients and working with people on a long term basis. I am obsessed with Design and the ability to make spaces feel welcome. I put 100% of myself into every space and watching people smile when they enter a space I’ve designed and furnished.

As the daughter of a designer, mixing beauty and function is in Tobi Schmidt’s DNA.
