I’m more scrappy than fancy, and with my husband, we truly ARE real life renovators.

I Often Share Personal & Spiritual Reflections

Faith and chronic illness (Crohn’s, autoimmune pancreatitis, Raynaud’s, BRCA+ genetic mutation) are frequent topics. A previvor since 2013, I opted for a prophylactic mastectomy and hysterectomy to lower cancer risk.

I have a fondness for European country inspired white interiors, and Hello Lovely began with a niche-y aesthetic for those things.

In my spare time, I love to compose at the piano, bake, paint, or read.

Pointe Shoes?

This photo below was my initial blog header in 2010…a favorite I snapped of a ballerina I styled. While I collect dead pointe shoes and danced as a sugar plum fairy in 6th grade, I didn’t have the drive to become a ballerina. Pointe shoes are symbolic of firece strength and beauty for me.
