Welcome to Dwell & Bloom! The decision to start this blog has been on my heart for a while now – and I’m finally taking the leap! Why Dwell & Bloom? Well, I believe that home is so much more than the walls that surround you. Home is where everything starts, the foundation of it all – love, family, faith…all the important things. Creating a home for your family that allows them to bloom into what God created them for is so important!

We all crave beauty, that’s how we are created – because He is beauty itself. He is the ultimate artist, and me? Simply an apprentice, piecing together bits of beauty in my corner of the world.

I’ve always had a passion for creating beautiful spaces – those who have ever lived with me know that’s its typical to come home and have the entire house changed around from time to time. I just love how you can create a whole new feel from just changing a few things around.

My goal for this blog is to share & inspire others to make your home the best fit for your family – in a functional, beautiful & affordable way! In that process, I strive to embrace the beautiful imperfection of family life and celebrate it!

“That house was a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep,

or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best,

or a pleasant mixture of them all.

Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear, and sadness.”

J.R.R. Tolkien
