How did I end up in Interior Design?  As long as I can remember I was fascinated by interiors and homes in general.  My parents graciously let me re-arrange furniture & paint walls from a young age. While playing Barbies, I spent hours setting up the homes..... and less time actually playing with the dolls.  I was always analyzing places around me; mentally re-arranging furniture, paint colors and accents.  In college I painted the kitchen cabinets a sunshine yellow, much to my landlords dismay, but my room-mates and I loved it!  I used to be the one to bring home stray animals... now I bring home abandoned furniture knowing I can breathe new life to them (my kids tease me endlessly about the state of my garage with miscellaneous pieces piled up.)  So it would seem I was always an interior designer.  I'm a true believer in following your passion.  I am lucky to be able to do just that!
