I think my passion for design started in about 1999/2000 when Trading Spaces on TLC was on every Friday or Saturday night. I would be home in my pajamas shouting at the television my design opinions. I really should have been out having fun with my friends- I mean c'mon, I was 9/10 what was I doing watching a design show when I should be riding bikes or playing in the dirt? I wouldn't change a thing looking back now. Although I shouldn't take any of their design techniques into my own home (everything was always so over the top), it really got me thinking about how a room can change and how it expresses the personality of a person or family.
I was constantly changing my room around and asking my parents to build me custom furniture because the furniture I had just didn't have the right features. It drove them crazy but I feel they were very supportive of my passion and went along with everything. Over the last 15 years I have really learned so much more about myself and how I envision what I want my home to be and now I finally am able to do that in our new home.
If your are curious cat about the " two | two | one " it actually has a big significance in my life. From pre-school to 3rd grade, I had the best life. Great friends, great yard, great everything- but then again everything feels awesome when you're only 7. I lived in a house in a cute little town with a cute little backyard. Our street address there was 221. Fast Forward to almost 20 years later, my husband and I buy a house with the street address 221 in that same cute little town! If that wasn't a sign (along with my claw foot tub and amazing studio space above the garage), I'm not sure what is then:)
So there you have it folks, a quick story about where it all started for me.
Over the next few days I hope to be walking you through the renovation, starting with the upstairs bathroom! Stay tuned all;)
