I grew up near the beach in Florida and went to college in the fabulous but full-of-debauchery New Orleans.  then I met a boy and moved to Denver at the age of 19 because I was sure I knew exactly what I was doing.  My parents were not thrilled. 

​

But I worked ridiculously hard as an event planner, handling weddings, fundraisers, corporate events, and cocktail parties of the not-always-rich and the kind-of-famous.  I met and married a new boy, and my parents were thrilled. 

​

While doing so, I had four children in five years.  I couldn’t get enough of decorating those cute baby rooms, so…you know.

​

After designing numerous events for a living and innumerable homes as a favor to friends, I launched my design firm.  I named my business The Neighbor's House because sometimes things really do seem better at the neighbor's house.  Growing up, our neighbors had a pool and Oreos, and they were allowed to watch Dynasty on television even though it came on at 9 PM and we were only 9 years old.  I mean, Dynasty AND Oreos?  Come on. 

​

Everyone deserves a happy place to live, work, eat, and sleep. That’s why God created wallpaper and good sheets.  But having a great space doesn’t need to cost a fortune.  Really.  Beautiful taste and lots of cash do not always go hand in hand.  If you don't believe me, Google 'Real Housewives of New Jersey'.
