Like many of you, I grew up constantly rearranging the furniture in my parents’ house, doodling on restaurant napkins, and mentally editing everything in sight. Eventually my incessant daydreaming led to opportunity, and I was fortunate enough to make my career in graphic design.

My life changed dramatically a few years ago when my husband and I decided to leave the daily grind behind. We sold our condo, our car, and most of our belongings to move to the Mediterranean coast. We unpacked four suitcases and took volunteer jobs. Not long after, we started a family. Now I’m a stay-at-home mother with a toddler and a preschooler. Things have definitely changed since my days of urban dwelling, subway riding, and 12-hour-corporate-workday living.

And I love it. But this blog presents a new opportunity for me–to stay connected with my love for design, decor, style and with the design community I left behind. Enjoy!
