Hey, I am Jen

Thank you for stopping by my blog. I am a interior designer, that chose to become a floral designer many years ago, and just a side of faux finish artist mixed in to be certified. I love animals, nature and all things beautiful. I wanted to start a blog, to share easy to accomplish DIY projects for our home, located in the foothills of the mountains. I also love sharing innovative new and current home trends, handy gardening tips, semi-homemade recipes for entertaining, party tips and creative craft ideas. You will also get to experience a lot of my floral design along the way as well, but feel free to drop by my sister site of, Butterfly Landings, to see more of my wedding designs and special event floral work.  To find out more about me see my ABOUT US PAGE.
