I'm so glad you found me! The journey to where I am now was not linear. Starting over became an amazing part of my story to finding HOME.
Short Story: Creative Midwest girl (what 8 year old girl keeps the Ethan Allen catalog?) gets practical Accounting Degree, works for stressful Corporation, raises 2 daughters, gets transplanted to Maryland and is forced to uproot again.
Real Story
Moves were just part of life early as an Air Force Kid from California to England and back "home" to Illinois. Living in rental properties don't allow you that sense of permanence a Home provides. Making a beautiful home for own my family was a pastime and source of creative inspiration.
And then it wasn't just a hobby, it was about survival. My 20-year marriage ended, and I only had my girls and my faith .I thought a date with a guy I met online would be a good distraction while I tended to important matters like selling my house and figuring out how to support myself financially. I bought a true "Fixer Upper" home and my new contractor boyfriend went all in with me on the renovation. Did I mention it was an 1898 old barn home???
God works in mysterious ways. I wasn't looking for a new husband, but I ended up with the best partner, friend and husband I could have asked for. Our business was born during those first few months. The homes and projects are just another way to share what we value most-creating beautiful homes that bring joy. It mirrors our belief in the redemption of 2nd chances
