My Story
rock bottom to rocking it!

I'm not sure that it's possible that I was born with a love of property and interiors, but I honestly can't remeber a time that they didn't make me smile.  I would spend my weekends looking round show homes, visiting interior shops and having coffees in places that I could re-design in my head.  I don't think I even knew what an interior designer was back then,  so it wasn't what I wanted to be, it's just what I innately was.

 

 Anyway, becoming a single mum at 16 made any thoughts about what I would be when I grew up on hold, my life became  about bringing up my children and being the best mum that I could be.

​

I always had a ‘show home’ looking home with beautiful interiors, my family would tease me about having candles they couldn't light and towels they couldn't use.   I didn't care, I just loved designing the rooms and I was good at it too. 

​

As the kids grew older, I enrolled in university and earned a degree in psychology,  counselling and psychotherapy. Although psychology intrigued and fascinated me, my passion remained in property, design and interiors, it is what I longed to do. 

​

Becoming a professional interior designer was exciting, I was finally on my way to fulfilling my dream.

 

... but life had other plans

​

My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer,  and overnight was given less than a year to live. Life did change, but not in the way we had planned. Luke died 8 months later at age 48, and it turned my world upside down. I could barely  make it through a day, I spent them curled up just wanting the pain to end.

​

Living back in the real world and accepting my life without Luke, has been hard however it's the drive behind what I do.
