Dancing and the Kitchen
helping you make your home beautiful
WELCOME to my world…
where helping homeowners make their homes beautiful is the driving force behind my business.
My hubs & I live a salty life in Fernandina Beach, FL (land of pirates) in our cute, aquamarine beach bungalow with our flat-coated retriever Archer. Honey has his dream kitchen and whips up yummy dishes on his favorite Viking range.

My personal style
Coastal sophistication: the perfect blend of East coast elegance and West coast cool. Picture spaces that effortlessly blend the refined charm of the East coast with the laid-back allure of the West coast, creating a unique and relaxing ambiance. I strive for chic aesthetics, timeless modernity, and beautiful color.
