With a lifelong interest in the places where we live and work, I am curious about rooms, houses and buildings and delight in discovering their personalities.

 

My many lives as interior designer, program director, dancer, and painter influence how I see and use spaces.  As the former owner of a facility consulting business that interpreted the language of buildings, I write about the ways our spaces, and what we put in them, shape and impact us.

​

An avid swimmer, fan of English murder mysteries, lover of strong hot coffee,  intrigued by the 1930’s, admirer of Eleanor Roosevelt, storyteller and creator of celebrations; I value simple living. My living mantra is to find the sacred in the everyday and the extraordinary in the ordinary.

 

I live with my photographer husband, Don, in our home named Rumley.
