About Me:
Married to soulmate for 35 years. Mom of son & daughter. Also, 2 dogs. Have loved decorating since I was a child and had a play house. Owned a business, Carpenter's Daughter, where I made and sold trash to treasure items. Enjoy having meaningful things in my home that have a story.
Favorite area of home improvement:
Love to repurpose and upcycle items I've found. My husband helps make it happen. We say, "out of my head and thru his hands". Also love to do mosaics, stenciling, painting and florals.
