HELLO!

After graduating with a BS in Interior Design from Meredith College in 2009, I have spent my career working in the home furnishing and building industries. During this time, I discovered a passion for renovating. I created this blog in 2014 to document my adventures in real estate and remodeling. I have renovated and flipped about half a dozen properties since then.

I believe that everyone deserves a home that they love and it shouldn’t cost a small fortune. I’m a big fan of using what you have, buying second-hand treasures, investing in important pieces, and pursuing a design style that you love - regardless of whether or not it is on trend. I hope you gain some resources here that you can implement in your own home.

On a personal note, I’m a Raleigh native who enjoys the simple pleasures of life and can usually be found sitting outside on a porch of some kind. I’m a self-proclaimed “baller on a budget” who loves a good deal. My shihtzu, Lola, is the light of my life - even though I’m fairly certain the feeling is not mutual…
