While raising my children I worked in real estate because it was flexible, and I was born in to a real estate family so it was kind of a no brainier. I learned that I loved, loved, loved, being in homes, and loved making them functional and pretty so they sold faster. My real estate career lasted for about ten years, and overlapped with a new career in staging and painting furniture, which then expanded to full scale design work.
I started my shop, Shabby Cottage, in its current location in April of 2015. I absolutely love the entire aspect of owning my OWN shop, running my OWN business, and answering to no one but Me! Don't get me wrong, it's not always easy, and I actually probably push myself harder than any employer would, but I would have it no other way. I enjoy my customers, my design clients, and look forward to going to work each day. Each day is different. This past week involved three days in the shop, two days of design clients, and two days of painting commissioned pieces, AND getting this blog started!
My goal with this blog is to provide you with decorating and cooking hints, as well as fabulous recipes, and lifestyle hints, as well as give you a glimpse in to life on the farm in the Bright Yellow Farmhouse! Let's have some fun, get to know eachouther, and make life a little less stressful and enjoyable together!
Cheers!
