Hello and welcome to my blog! I’m Marissa – an avid home renovation DIY-er and lover of interior design. I’ve remodeled three of my own homes and counting. As a single mom of two boys, home life gets pretty crazy. My outlet and passion is this blog, and my home renovation projects!
I aim for traditional European-inspired interiors, with a touch of organic texture. I love patterns, wall art, and a great vintage piece of furniture! I try to make rooms tell a story – for myself, friends, family, and my clients along the way.
I was born and raised in Nothern California, then spent most of my 20s in London, England. Since then, I’ve also lived in Nevada and New Jersey before settling in Idaho! I draw much of my inspiration from the variety of places I’ve lived, and from my travels around the world.
Here, you will find home design tips, DIY home renovation tutorials and more! I hope you’ll use this blog as a resource for your design projects big and small, from total tear downs to choosing window treatments. Thank you for being here!
