{Re-}Decorate Your Home

With a focus on Green Design, I help my family, friends, & clients reuse and up-cycle what they love and recycle the rest.  I love to share many of the projects I take on for others & in my own home, as well as share resources for sustainably sourced home decor. 

Have a look at some of the DIY projects I take on & get ideas on everything from space planning to hiding cords & everything in between!

Inspiration & Ideas

Cook Deliciously Healthy Food

Living the Green Life means eating healthy food that tastes great too.  If you can’t grow it yourself, then pick it yourself, cook it yourself, & enjoy it.  

Grab a recipe or 2 for food I eat & feed my family, share some of your own, or just chat about what works & what doesn’t when you’re trying to eat healthy tasty food.

Let's Swap Recipes!

Start A Veggie Garden

Inspired by my grandmother’s love of gardening & eating fresh healthy veggies, I started a little container garden in 2013.  Since then we built a standing garden bed (2016) & raised garden beds (2017) & haven’t looked back since.  

We’re still learning but it’s a big step on this sustainable lifestyle journey!

Make Cleaning & Personal Care Products

The Green Life is all about keeping home naturally beautiful, clean, & fresh using non-toxic solutions.  

I’m always on the hunt & experimenting with ingredients & recipes for the home& garden, as well as personal care for the body & hair.

Here's How I Do It
