About

Homes are my passion! Ever since I was a little girl, I would walk by a house and imagine what it looked like inside. My mom loved antiques! So, I grew up with old and new in the home.

I believe a home reflects the personality of the people who live in it.

Most people know what they like and know the colors that grab them, and they have a preference between modern and let’s say vintage. But, a lot of people just don’t know how to pull it all together.

That is where my talent comes in.

I have been told for most of my adult life that I should be a decorator. So here I am at age 62, doing what I absolutely love! My mobile shop is a 1954 Bellwood Aloha Camper. I sell my wares out of it and use it to advertise what I can do. I love mixing the old with the new and can do many different styles. My favorite style is Cottage Chic, hence the name of my business. I am a picker. I love textiles and I can do old world nautical and coastal chic. It all depends on you! I collaborate with many talented people to transform that perfect piece for your home.

I grew up in a boating family and spent so much of my life on Block Island. I call Narragansett, Rhode Island home. Living on the beautiful New England coast has inspired me and influenced my decorating style.

I consult for free. I can decorate a whole house, a room, or help you find pieces for your home or cottage.
