hey there! I'm monica 

I pride myself on making amazing style and design accessible for everyone, regardless of location, budget, or ability! My design philosophy is rooted in authenticity + attainability - If I can do it, you can too! My work has been featured in countless publications, but I take the most pride in homeowners that have been personally inspired by my DIY ideas and have tried something in their own homes!

I’ve gotta start off by thanking so many of you for giving awesome feedback on my Powder Room Pick Me Up.  Sometimes, when I do a FREE (well almost free) room in my house that’s not a full makeover, I tend to think it’s a little ho-hum. You guys helped me not feel that way for long!  So Thanks!
If you missed it, you can check it out HERE.

Our gal pal Beth over at Free Stylin’ Beth has a super fun series going on and she asked both of us to be a part (you can link to Jess’ post through mine too!)
