My love of interior design goes way back to my childhood in Downers Grove, Illinois. My parents bought a house that was 100 years old and completely remodeled it themselves. They couldn’t afford to hire anyone to do the work, so my dad did all the work on the house while my mom did the decorating. She was very creative at making our house a home with very little money. My dad would work long hours for the phone company, come home, put on his tool belt and work on our house till 1 AM.

I love decorating and recently did a very extensive renovation on our house. We finally moved back in after almost two years. It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears during the process, but the hard work paid off.

In the DECOR section, we’ll talk easy tricks for updating your interior, getting organized and even starting over in a new space. It’s also a place to share progress, ask for advice and get inspired!

To kick things off, let me know what room in your house could use an update the most.
