2015 – Year of the Transformation Part II

One of the things I love about writing this blog is connection with others. I have connected with people from all over the world. Some of the blogs I follow aren’t about design, decorating but finances, funny stories, story telling or just sharing tales of life.

I look forward to meeting more people in 2015. Over the last three years I have transforming my life. We moved to Texas, I started a branch for a company that I worked for in St. Louis which has ups and downs, and a rocky foundation. So in to order to fill the time and make new friends I hung out my shingle for a small interior design residential business. Over the last few months it has grown and that is very exciting.  I am meeting new people and making new friends and thinking about what life can be for the future.

Check out my new blog/website directionsindesign.wordpress.com Looking forward to a new year.

Flea market finds

My family has been hunting bargains since the beginning of time. As kids we went to garage sales, flea markets and consignment shops. When my we get together we share our bargains, our deals and the best places to shop.  We have pieces that we share swap and reuse. My guest bedroom is furnished with items from grandmother and pieces my mom found at a junk store for my childhood room. We are a suburban family spread throughout the country.  I have been known to save stuff from the trash, refresh it, give it away or sell it at a local consignment shop.  I believe my family loves the thrill of the hunt for new treasures and new ways to use our finds.  I have a passion for lamps and miscellaneous chairs.
