If These Walls Could Talk

Home is the setting of your life story!

Though I now write a DIY design blog, my first love wasn’t decorating—it was reading. As I devoured book after book, I would fall in love with the places my favorite stories were set in, wishing I could live there. But that got me to thinking: What if our homes could be that kind of setting?

My new book is all about helping you decorate your home in a way that reflects your family’s one-of-a-kind personality, interests, and aspirations. I believe that every home has a story to tell. And I want to show you how your home can tell yours!
