I currently live in the Rochester NY area with my Hubby and our 3 kids. I graduated with my Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2009 and worked in the behavioral/mental health field for 10years. Now I am switching gears and heading into a new direction with an old passion. I am excited to help you love the home you live in through organizing, decorating or a little bit of both!

Hummingbirds, Coffee & Jesus

February 7, 2020February 7, 2020 Constance

Some of my favorite memories growing up include trips to my Grandparents hunting cabin. It was an escape with two of my favorite people. We had camp fires, tree swing, bow & arrows, woods to explore, and of course an outhouse. We would go every summer, maybe more. My Grandma LOVED hummingbirds. She would have… Continue reading Hummingbirds, Coffee & Jesus

Mental Trick of the Week

February 4, 2020February 4, 2020 ConstanceLeave a comment

Schedule 5 minutes of worry time a day. Yes you read it right. Whether you worry or struggle with anxiety, telling yourself “when” you can worry is more likely to happen than telling yourself “not to worry.” Allow yourself that time each day to process and end in prayer. So what do you do when… Continue reading Mental Trick of the Week

Take Two

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will NEVER leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 There have been many times in my life when I have said to myself “man if I could only do it all over.” Lately… Continue reading Take Two

Victory

I am having a week where it feels as though my life is unraveling. Again. I feel like a failure as a Mom, Wife, and a Christian. I feel like I am failing myself. Doubt has settled in and started stealing what was giving me hope and joy. I want to RETREAT. To close down… Continue reading Victory

Hold the Phone

January 20, 2020January 24, 2020 Constance1 Comment

“At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou College was NOT the time of my life. Unfortunately, my life had a lot of dysfunction leading up to this milestone. Most memories of my childhood consisted of pervasive fear, abuse… Continue reading Hold the Phone

When Excuses lead to Surrender…

The pressure is on.... this is officially my FIRST blog post EVER! Well not if you include Myspace, whenever that was, but obviously it didn't turn into anything amazing for me, ha! As I sit here and write I have been asking myself, what took you so long to grab the bull by the horns… Continue reading When Excuses lead to Surrender…

What are your thoughts?! These two spaces are for a client who recently moved and is looking for help with layout, designing and selecting items for each room, from furniture to decor. These two spaces will be side by side and open to one other. They wanted neutrals, with pops of greens. I wanted them to compliment each other, without being too matchy matchy. They approve and now they are off to purchasing the items. I cannot wait to see how they pull the spaces together 🤩 #simplyhome #simplydesigned #simplydecorated #diningroomdesign #itdoesnthavetobeexpensive #interiordecorating #interiordesign #moodboards #homedecor #homedecoratingideas
Summer vibes!!! This area of our backyard is 3/4 of the way there! Sometimes you have to walk away and say job well done even though there is still more to do, but no finances or time to do it.
It’s easy to get from this… to this when you have already reduced the amount of clutter and you have systems (storage) that are working for your home. The problem isn’t the mess, because let’s face it most of our homes look like this by the end of a long week… But about being able to put everything away because it all has a “home.” So what is your struggle? Not enough storage, too much stuff, or maybe a little bit of both? Overwhelmed? That’s common! Ask for help! Make a plan and the rest will come. #simplyhome #simplyorganized #reduceclutter #onestepatatime #functional #organized #organization101 #organizedforlife #keepitsimple #organizeit
Success doesn’t happen without hiccups or bumps in the road! And especially in this type of work. The original wallpaper I chose got “lost in transit” so we had to make a last minute decision on getting a different wallpaper or waiting until… ? I could not be happier with how it turned out…more importantly the homeowners 😍 #simplyhome #simplydecorated #simplydesigned #beautiful #personal #functional #powderroomdesign #decoratingideas #peelandstickwallpaper #bathroomdecor #roc #powderroom #smallbathroomdesign #interiordecorating #beginnerdesigner
Different flavors for a very different feel. When I first did this space I “finished” it with everything I already owned… and I honestly enjoy the challenge of pulling something together that works without having to purchase anything. This type of “finish” is usually temporary until time and money allow a “designed” space. And since it’s my own home I was able to “sit” in it and really think about what I wanted it to look & feel like… it takes patience but slowly I was able to add, and take away, items that weren’t working until I felt it was finished! And of course a little re arranging never hurts to make it feel even more fresh!#simplyhome #simplydecorated #simplydesigned #onestepatatime #decorating #decoratingonabudget #functional #beautiful #personal #livingroomdecor #blackaccentwall #cozylivingroom #decorating101
Can’t wait to get my hands on this tiny little powder room and give it a face lift! The planning, pricing, presenting, and purchasing are all done! Now we wait until everything comes in so I can install 😍 #simplyhome #simplydecorated #simplydesigned #peelandstickwallpaper #smallpowderroom #moodboard #onestepatatime #functional #beautiful #personal #bathroomdecor #decorating #interiordecorating #roc
