How did I get here?
I've lived in many states over the last 40+ years and many different dwellings- from single family homes to apartments, duplexes, condo and RV's
I found myself challenged with new spaces, new layouts and new ideas that came with each and every different place I called home. I love a challenge- especially when it involves home decor. It was important to me to make a homey and comfortable oasis that brought a smile to my face everytime I entered!
Since I moved around so much I wanted furnishings to match the style I was living at that particular place and time. Full retail shopping was never on my radar screen, my shopping led me to second hand stores, antique shops, yard sales, online marketplaces, thrift stores, etc- you get the idea!
Not only did I find unique pieces and quality pieces, I met and supported the local mom and pop boutiques- a win win!!
I have renovated and decorated 5 of my own homes and 4 RV's. My style and tastes changed with every dwelling.
Along the way I had many people tell me I should do this for a living and so I decided to take the plunge and put myself out there to help others realize their dreams and visions
My photo gallery is a small sampling of what I have done but it gives you an idea that you can make any space special with paint, wall decor and fun furnishings that don't break the bank. I've mixed old with new, bright and moody and incorporated a few personal items that make it unique and homey.
I am excited to offer my services that can help you create your own personal and unique space. I can look at your layout, get to know your style and help you put together a happy, homey space. I will shop for your decor and then help you put it all together. Sound like fun?? I hope so because I'm here to make this journey an exciting one!
I have a good eye and a great knowledge of space and flow. Kitchen and bathroom design and layout is also a specialty.
I have renovated, designed, furnished and decorated three boutique rental properties that I also managed. I am a "superhost" with airbnb. I added special touches that made my properties unique. I can help set you up for success with your rental property.
The best way to find out if we're a good fit is to just have a conversation.

This bedroom was a sad, dark and dingy space that was gutted and given a bright facelift. Then it was time to furnish and accessorize. All of the furnishings you see were purchased from consignment shops. The quilt on the bed, the antique mirror and the framed needlepoint were my family pieces that incorporated in beautifully. The "feature " wall was made from the slats we took down from the ceiling. It is a multipurpose space that is cozy, warm, bright and comfortable
This living space was cold and dreary. Again, it's been lightened and brightened. The decor is a mix of new, repurposed, consignment and some of my own personal decor pieces
The entry from living room to sunroom was completely transformed. I had a vision of barn doors with glass panels(to let in light) and my first search on craigslist produced these beauties- what a find!! All the furnishings you see on the porch are from my favorite mom and pop places
This little kitchen had a decent footprint! All I did was move the range, move the fridge, added a dishwasher, a beautiful farm sink and added another line of cabinets. The backsplash pulled it together and made it pop!!
This bathroom got enlarged and I made it handicapped accessible without looking like a handicapped bathroom. The utility sink allows for a wheelchair to slide under. The bars are industrial pipes. No lip (or door) to shower. Truly one of my favorite bathrooms!!
These pieces were thrift store finds- which made it easy to paint over all that beautiful hardwood and bring in some whimsical!
