Tell us a little (or a lot) about your home and the people who live there: I’m a lover of color and all things tropical! I’ve traveled to all seven continents and my home decor is a reflection of my expansive travels and experiences. I’m a mother to two beautiful girls, a quirky puppy, and more plants than I can count.

We bought our most recent home on the Space Coast of Florida and we’re having a ton of fun renovating the inside to be a tropical bohemian bungalow retreat. P.S. I’m also color blind.

Describe your home’s style in 5 words or less: Tropical bohemian surf shack bungalow.

What is your favorite room and why? I love every room but our master bedroom is special since it opens out to our gorgeous outdoor pool oasis.

What’s the last thing you bought (or found!) for your home? I’m constantly out at the estate sales every Friday over here in Florida. I recently found a huge piece of art that I thrifted for $10! Looks like it was made for our home!

Any advice for creating a home you love? Do what makes you happy and create a cozy sanctuary in every space. Get rid of the things that don’t work in your life anymore. Mix old and new. Also, plants make people happy!
