For 11 years I owned a retail store in Brentwood, TN which I sold in 2022. 

Even though my store was a lifestyle store which had a wide range of inventory - clothing, jewelry, gifts, home decor, etc. - home Decor and design has always been my passion. I love old, patina’d, organic and unique things.  I hope that my new website (with a heavy focus on design) inspires those who also love home decor to slow down and stop obsessing over decorating your house.  The goal should be to have a home that reflects the interests and values of the people who live there.  Refrain from resorting to a thrown-together / I paid a decorator (designer) to do this / I got everything from Target and TJ Maxx mentality of decorating.  No disrespect to Target and TJ Maxx, I love shopping there myself.  But when that's your go to for decor, it can come across as a desperate attempt to put some stuff on an empty shelf or table to avoid looking like it’s an empty shelf or table. 

Take your time.  Find things that inspire you.  Wait for the perfect piece.  And most of all, stop trying so hard.  Who are you trying to impress any way?  Our homes should be for the people who live in them, not for the people who visit on occasion.  And the people who matter?  They don’t care what your house looks like.  Those are your people.
