New and gently-used furnishings
We have curated a beautiful and unique collection of new and gently-used furniture and home décor. Although much of our furniture may be vintage, it has been brought up to date so that it fits seamlessly into today's décor style.
Use-what-you-have decorating services
We eliminate stress and overwhelm and help you to create your beautiful and functional dream home. Using what you own and/or helping you to source just the right items, we can help you create a space you fall in love with and are proud to show off to anyone who visits.
Custom furniture painting
Have you moved or made changes to your home, and some of your furniture no longer fits the style? No worries. If your furnishings are still functional, we can give them a refresh to match your new style. Painted furniture is all the rage and gives your space (and the piece) a whole new, updated look.
Hi, I'm Kerri... the Decorator for the DIYer. I grew up in a modest Cape-style house in a middle-class neighborhood with a stay-at-home mom and a dad who worked his tail off as an iron worker. My parents provided for us very well despite my dad's inconsistent work, due to their great money management and creativity.
Our house was always well-maintained (thanks to my dad's skills), with nice furniture and pretty décor (thanks to my mom's skills). My mom was the queen of DIY, repurposing and thinking out of the box. And my dad was one of those guys who could build or fix anything.
As a kid, I was a tomboy who'd rather play in the dirt with Matchbox cars with my brother and neighborhood boys. Yes, I was the little girl who asked for a tool box for Christmas! If I wasn't playing with the boys, I was drawing. My girl friends would play with my Barbies while I sat and drew pictures. One of my dream gifts was a box of 64 Crayola Crayons. The box even had a sharpener built in!
I've loved anything creative as far back as I can remember. Whether it was sketching Tippy the turtle from the pack of matches, dreaming of doing what Darrin Stephens (from Bewitched) did for work, designing Lincoln Log homes, "painting" pictures on the sidewalk with a cup of water and a watercolor paintbrush, I always wanted to be creating. I guess it's no surprise that I ended up wanting to help homeowners make their homes beautiful using what they already own, and repurposing old furniture. Growing up, I gained an appreciation for buying well-made furnishings, looking for function and need, and being mindful of ways to create, re-create, and decorate beautifully on a budget. Thanks, mom and dad!
