DIY, European Country Style & Modern French Country Inspired Interiors

My handy husband and I transformed a neglected fixer upper to a modern European Country beauty entirely ourselves (with a sense of humor firmly in place!) My better half is a dynamo who can build or fix ANYTHING, and we’re at it again this time in a Georgian style home.

I also share personal reflections about faith and chronic illness (autoimmune, Crohn’s, and BRCA+ genetic mutation). As a previvor, I opted for a prophylactic mastectomy and hysterectomy to lower my cancer risk.

Significance of Ballet Slippers?

In case you wondered, the photo below is a favorite snapped of a ballerina I styled. While I collect dead pointe shoes and danced as a sugar plum fairy in 6th grade, ballet was NEVER my strong point. However, pointe shoes remind me of strength and a fierce work ethic–qualities I admire.
