Hi, and welcome to my little corner of the world,
Home…a place to spend time with the ones you love, a place where mistakes are made and happiness is found, a place of peace and comfort, a place of laughter and chaos, and most importantly a place where memories are created for generations to come.
But, we all have a different vision of “home”. For some, it’s a charming farmhouse in the country, others love the city life, some want a high rise with views for miles, but we all want the feeling of “home”.
Looking beyond the intrinsic feeling of home, I aspire to creating our “dream home, a home that is casually elegant, warm and welcoming, and a place for family and friends to gather. We have moved a few times in an effort to find the “perfect space”. Each time we moved, I was remodeling and redecorating while trying to find “my style”. My style has developed over the years and changed with the times. I want to share my projects and hope to spread some inspiration. I invite you into my home and along my journey to find the perfect “happy haute home” .
Growing up in a traditional home with european influences of farmhouse and french country has greatly influenced my love for design. Over the years, I have gravitated more towards modern traditional, and transitional styles, love modern farmhouse style and romantic french country style. I love the blending of old and new, rustic and refined, burlap and crystal. I’m a huge design enthusiast and love all things “Home”.
On my site, you will find tablescape, home decor, home renovation, and home ideas of all types. I have also included premier “haute” home tours you will definitely want to check out and some favorite recipes.
I am a wife, mom, CEO of our household, chef, housekeeper, chauffeur, teacher, story teller, on our PTO Board and more. I am married to my wonderful husband of 15 years, have 2 kids and like all moms, have a very busy life. Being a career woman most of my life, I made the decision a few years ago to stay home for my family and have not regretted it one bit.
I’m so glad you found my site! Grab a cup of coffee, sit down and take a tour, join me on a journey to creating a “Happy Haute Home”.
