“home is a PLACE where all are welcome”
My favorite room is our great room.
It’s a combination of our living and what’s
more important, where we eat. And where we
entertain. I absolutely adore having people
around our rustic wood dining table, feeding
them, drinking wine, sharing stories and enjoy
each other’s company!
My style is modern vintage.
I love combining new pieces with restored
ones. A high end fabric with a flea market chair.
Personalization and personality
are important to turn a house into home.
By personalization, I mean pictures, unique
pieces that tell a story, a home that is custom
and doesn’t look exactly like a catalog
picture. By personality, I mean the people
who live in the house.
My design tips for a tight budget
are gallery walls. Mine are made up of very
inexpensive street art pieces from our travels.
Using your own photography, blowing it up
and framing is yet another great, inexpensive
design project. For me, there are certain pieces
in a home, mainly furniture that you may want
to invest in (i.e. a sofa, dining table). Everything else I say go to Home Goods, scour Flea
Markets, Ebay and don’t forget to grab some
of your grandparents’ items!
