I grew up in Erie as the oldest of two girls.  Although I wouldn’t say I was ever the over-the-top girlie type, I have always LOVED pretty things.  I graduated from West Virginia University in 1994 -- a place I will always and forever consider my home away from home.  My background is accounting and though I love the structure and order of numbers, my creative side also demands to be heard.

In 1995, I married my husband and best friend Kenny and was lucky enough to stay home when our boys were young while doing some bookkeeping on the side.

As the boys got older, I became involved in some volunteer activities.  Again I was happiest when I could combine my two loves.  Organizing a fundraiser and then tallying up the profits -- I was in heaven!

Every chance I got you’d find me poring over a decorating magazine or searching online for some new inspiration.  It didn’t matter to me if it was my “style” or something that would work in my house.  Pretty things are pretty things.

People have asked me what I would call my style.  That’s a hard one for me to answer.  I guess because I like a little bit of everything -- county, traditional, primitive, cottage, romantic, contemporary.  I truly believe if you love it, you can pull elements from all styles and mix them together to form one beautiful look that is uniquely you.

I have an undeniable urge to create, so over the years, when friends and family have asked me to help them decorate a space in their homes, I jump at the chance!  Nothing is as much fun as helping someone tell their story.

As I spread my entrepreneurial wings, I feel that I have found my passion.  I love the challenge of keeping the store fresh & inspiring, I love helping customers looking for just the right thing or those who just want to relax and browse while they forget their stressful day for just a bit, and I most love bringing you beautiful décor…..that will tell your story.
