about 

Hey! I'm Heather. I'm a wife, mom, self-taught designer, and creator of this space. By day I'm a designer at a tile showroom, and on nights and weekends I prefer to stay busy with projects around the house. I'm a homebody through and through. 
​
Here you'll find loads of interior inspiration, room makeovers, DIYs, and the tips and tricks I learn along the way. 

I'm a strong believer that having a beautiful home doesn't have to break the bank. After all, my husband works in finance, so my wallet is watched closely. 

We should all love where we live.

My hope is to inspire you to try new things, think out of the box, and get your hands [a little] dirty. To get you started, here re a few of my favorite posts:

I get this question often. Dresden Avenue was our first home as a married couple. I knew it was the one the second the front door opened. It's the home where I found my love for furniture refinishing, experimented with design styles, found my love of mixing old with new, learned that I love to cook, started my first garden, named my inner old lady (her name is Eleanor) and truly found myself. Although we no longer live in that little house on Dresden Avenue, this is my way of forever keeping her with me.
