Meet Janet
Sharing all things home: DIY budget friendly projects, sewing, painting, and building, to add charm and character to our home.
I’m a wife and mom to two adult children. My husband, son, and I live in the St.Louis area. My daughter still lives in Missouri, but is a few hours away. I grew up in a small town and I think that has been a big influence on my lifestyle. We may live in a bigger city, but I crave cottage style decor, comfort food, and simple living. Happiness really is homemade.
I earned a degree in fashion from the University of Missouri Columbia. I still love fashion but developed a love for interior decorating during my years as a stay at home mom.
I have always dreamed of living in an old farmhouse or cottage filled with history and charm. Maybe one day. But for now I enjoy transforming our traditional style builder grade home into a warm and romantic cottage style home.
I dabble in a little of just about everything home décor related. I have never had a big budget and let’s just face it, I’m “thrifty”. I have learned to sew it, build it, paint it, or whatever I need to do to get the look I want.
Things don’t always go smoothly around here during projects. Currently seeking an “Ethel” to my “Lucy” haha!
I hope you will join me for the fun and shenanigans and we can learn together along the way.
Thanks for stopping by!
