Raleigh designer owes millions, clients allege furnishings were never delivered

The fallout around Raleigh interior designer Alexandra ‘Zandy’ Overcash Gammons has shifted from expensive homes and furnishings to bankruptcy court, where she now owes more than $3 million to dozens of creditors and faces accusations that clients paid for items that never arrived.

Gammons filed for personal bankruptcy on March 11, 2026, and commercial bankruptcy on March 20, court records show. Her filings listed more than 60 creditors, about $1.3 million in personal assets and between $100,001 and $500,000 in business assets. She also asked to keep her North Raleigh home as the cases move through the system.

The most serious claims are coming from clients. Two customers have sued Gammons and Miretta Interiors in Wake County Superior Court, alleging more than $120,000 in furnishings were never delivered. Those lawsuits are on hold while the bankruptcy cases proceed, leaving the clients to wait as the legal fight shifts to how much money, if any, can be recovered.

Under oath, Gammons admitted she lied to clients about purchasing inventory, a disclosure that turns the dispute into more than a routine business failure. For Wake County homeowners who hire designers for large custom orders, the case is a reminder that deposits can disappear into a legal maze when promised purchases are not made, invoices do not match the work, and a project stalls before delivery.

Miretta Interiors was previously known as The Warehouse and was founded in 2014 by Liles Dunnigan and Gammons as a full-service interior design firm offering residential, corporate and remote e-design services. Public business records list The Warehouse at 1107 Capital, LLC as formed on February 14, 2014, with Alexandra Gammons as managing member and a principal office at 1924 Wake Forest Road in Raleigh. Lafayette Village Raleigh still describes the business as a retail and design space.

The case is playing out in Wake County Superior Court on Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, part of North Carolina’s oldest court system, established in 1777. For clients, subcontractors and other creditors, the central question is no longer design taste but whether money, merchandise or unfinished work can be recovered before the bankruptcy process runs its course.
