Welcome to my blog! This is where I give advice, provide in depth articles, links and inspiration so that you can learn how to decorate and design on your own. I’m a former art teacher, so this has become one of my teaching outlets. I hope you enjoy and if you have any ideas or questions for future blog posts, I’d love to hear about them! Just send me a comment or message. I’ll put it on my list and mention you in my article. The advice I give here is part experience, opinion and knowledge from what I learned in art and design school. I also incorporate my personal life and experiences here mostly just for entertainment. Art and Interiors are my passion and I’m constantly learning new things. Like I said, I’m a teacher so I would never keep the things I’ve learned over the years a secret. Accept this blog as my own personal and professional journal of sorts.
