Welcome to my blog, a place to share my opinions, projects, inspiration, and creative endeavors.
My husband and I are the parents of two children who, gratefully, have grown into wonderful young adults. I grew up in Portland, Oregon, traveled around Europe, studied interior design in Seattle and returned home in my 30s.
I am a visually obsessed garden designer with the following interests and inspirations:
Books, books and more books, architecture, designing and creating jewelry, French language, innovative dining with sustainable and local food, organizing and simplifying space, art, lettering, 1940s pottery, 1960s British rock, European and American history, travel, traditional country music, Zumba, office supply, fabric and hardware stores, photography, and quirky foreign films
