ABOUT YOU

 How do you spend your time? My goal lately has been to do one creative thing every single day. Just to stay inspired in this weird time. It can be anything - a new recipe, writing, new social content, a craft, home projects - whatever! One of my mentors told me to be creating always and I believe that’s such valuable advice. I’ve found it keeps your mind and your eye sharp. Additionally, I work hard on my business all the time but I budget my time carefully and put my attention into my family and friendships on the weekend. My husband and I love live music, comedy shows, and taking advantage of getting outside in our beautiful city. But lately, it’s been a lot of Netflix, bike rides, and I’m fortunate my he can play multiple instruments so I get live music at home.Neighborhood: South Arlington (right near Four Mile Run) which I love for all the dog parks, trails, and paths nearby.How long have you lived in the area: I’ve lived in Arlington since 2016 when I moved here from Los Angeles.What is your hometown? I’ve been bi-coastal the majority of my life between Los Angeles and my parent’s house in Centreville, Virginia.What brought you to the area? My baby daddy (and by baby I mean puppy).What would surprise people about you? Probably that I can be shy at times! I have to force myself to go to events and talk to new people. I’m a bit of a homebody in some ways.You’re a superhero. What’s your superpower? Reading minds - I always ask people what they’re thinking.Favorite cocktail: Skinny Margarita with Casamigos, salted rim over a large rock.Last book read or movie seen: I read a lot but my favorite book of the year so far is Daisy Jones and the Six. The movie is tough, but I like indie films, especially dark comedies.Guilty Pleasure: Real Housewives. Although I feel no guilt whatsoever!A phrase you overuse: “Do you mind?”Facebook or Instagram? Instagram.Latest binge-watch: Get Organized with The Home Edit on NetflixBucket list travel destination: Capri Room at Buca di Beppo - just kidding, Amalfi Coast, and then Monte Carlo.If you only could have one for the rest of your life: wine or coffee? I’d rather not go on…

YOUR HOME

 Favorite room in your home: My closet!Antiques, modern, or a mix? A mix, I love it all. High, low, modern, and thrift layers and pairings are most interesting to me. I am not loving the huge 80's interiors trend that’s coming back though, it literally hurts my face.Last item bought for your home: Well honey, I went to HomeGoods and threw down - got all the things!Next planned purchase: I don’t like to plan what I buy, I like to collect things as I find good stuff.
