About Me

For the last 22 years, I have devoted all of my time to raising my family whom I adore and love endlessly. Over the years when friends and  family have noticed my “do-it-yourself” projects they have said they think I have missed my calling. . . that is quite a compliment (I think), but I never really felt that way.

My calling has always been to be at home.  I have been blessed to be able to fulfill both my desire to be a stay at home Mom, and be able to have this “passion” on the side.  Now that our children are grown, I have more of a desire and more time to pursue this hobby that has developed and grown over the years.  What better way than developing a career out of it all!

From a very young age, I have always loved decorating whatever space I happen to be in.  When I was 10, I remember spending hours alone in my room I shared with my siblings making beds-yes, making beds and liking it, decorating walls, and even moving furniture around.  I loved it then…and I still love it. Over the years, I decorated our first apartment, our first home, our second home, etc.  I must say…the home that we live in now has been the most rewarding project thus far, and I am here to share it and all of the affordable, easy, sometimes crazy ideas.  It brings me complete joy sharing these ideas that it took me years to create.

I have a BS in Elementary Education, and my ZA Endorsement in Early Childhood.  While teaching, I discovered that I enjoyed being with the children, but decorating the classroom was where my heart was.  It took me years to admit to myself, and others, that teaching is not what I wanted to do everyday.  Being at home, taking care of my family (teaching my children), while decorating & cooking, feels right for me.

I write, edit, and publish these posts on my own.  I learned everything in blog land at my kitchen table, and I work several hours a day on RCD.  My photos are taken with a camera I received as a gift from my husband, and photography has developed into another passion of mine.

Geesh!  That was long…

Love,
Julie
