Who the heck is this girl?
Well, where to begin... I'm a daughter, sister, friend, girlfriend.. you name it. I'm a pretty "small town kinda girl", a massive reality tv show fan and love being busy as a bee.
For those of you who don't know me (if there is more than one person that reads this :), I'm a recent grad from Wilfrid Laurier University in Communication Studies and currently work as a Residence Life Coordinator.
While student services and residence life are something I truly love and enjoy, my secret (not so secret) passion is decorating, repurposing, refurbishing home furnishings and other practical usage projects. I have always been interested in interior design and home decor and for the first time, I have a place of my own for more than 8 months to decorate. It's not huge (at all) but I love it! But, being a recent grad, I don't have tons of money (darn you student loans) so I'm on a budget, but still want to class up the place. Since my position is live in, there's not much I can do in my apartment as far as any sort of reno/painting/permanant changes, so I've been having a blast adding a little bit more of a homey feel to it!

My family!
A huge part of my life is my family. I am one of seven children in my immediate family so I literally mean family is a HUGE part of my life :) My mom, dad and stepdad are so amazing (they must be for putting up with all of us kids ;) and my brothers and sisters are the greatest. I have an older sister, three younger sisters and two younger brothers. In a way, they started this little interest of mine and have supported it whether it's looking through photos, picking up furniture off of kijiji, saving up toilet paper rolls, and putting up with my constant talking about it. I also have a huge extended family, who I also love, so I enjoy being busy and bouncing my ideas off of others :)
Another VIP for me
Another huge part of my life is my oh so lovely boyfriend Jeremy whom I affectionately call Beggs (his last name, I called him that since we first met, as everyone does, and when we started dating, I couldn't stop!) We've been together for nearly three years and although he jokes about my obsession with pillows and my need to buy more stuff to fill every empty piece of wall in my apartment, he's been right there saving up the toilet paper rolls, putting up the wall paper, helping me with the website, buying paint etc, supporting me as he always does.
