About Christina

I’ve been buying, renovating and decorating houses for over 15 years, starting with a cute Little Victorian. I’ve learned a TON along the way about how simple and affordable it can be to make your house you…and want to share how.
You can decorate. Even if you think you can’t, you can. You can DIY. Even if you’re intimidated, it’s really not scary.
