About

I was born and raised in the Bay Area, CA and thought it would be a dream to be living in the South. Then I met and married my southern man and best friend Darrin in May, 2011! I'm a graphic designer and left my Silicon Valley job, friends, and family and moved to Blacksburg, VA. It's been a great change and I love the southern hospitality, and even better you can afford a house here! We bought an adorable, simple farmhouse in December 2011 and we are enjoying making it our home.

Growing up, I'd explain my house by saying, "It's the blue house, with a white picket fence and it has a red door." I can't believe my first house has a red door with a white picket fence! The family tradition continues...

I love being a Mom to the cutest little redhead, good design, a good bargain hunt, diy, eating, and making good food. I love traveling, dancing, hiking, theme parties, having parents as antique collectors, playing with our Springer Maddie and dreaming about owning a b&b one day... here's to sharing my new life as a southern girl and being a new Mom!
