Merry
Welcome
ORGANIZED. STAGED. SIMPLIFIED.
​
I have had a varied background. I grew up in a small town in northern Indiana. After high school, rather than head off to college, I made the impulsive move to head west and ended up in Southern California. I was fortunate to land a job with a great employer and worked my way up from clerk to mid-level management over the course of 18 years. I have worked in field offices, corporate headquarters, the executive suite, and even in the air. I spent close to 10 years as a facilities manager who oversaw the daily management of corporate facilities responding to corporate client tenant requests and managing remodels and new site construction projects.
I earned my bachelors in business administration, with an emphasis in marketing. A short time later I earned my MBA.
Why Merry Welcome? After each move and/or remodel when visitors (friends, family, contractors, realtors) came to my home I was repeatedly told I should be "in the business". My passion is to remodel, renovate and decorate. But I also love to organize, prioritize, and help others. After the death of my husband, I learned first-hand how much “stuff” survivors have to deal with upon a death. Numerous financial and life decisions must be made; many with the clock ticking and impending deadlines. Upon analysis, I decided that I want to help others so the ball doesn’t get dropped, the stress is eased, and hopefully your day is brightened. Yes, decorating will be a part of my business, but it will be so much more. I will transform your home into an efficient yet beautiful place of refuge.
I want to assure you that I will bring the same professionalism, dedication, and respect to you and your home that I would expect. I look forward to meeting and providing service to you. Just as I have recaptured my joy, I hope to spread the joy to you and your family. Thanks, and I wish you a Merry Welcome.

Every time I walk through my door into my house, I think "I love my home"! The feeling especially hits me after I've been on the road for a while. And, the sentiment is echoed by visitors to my home. Visitors tell me my home is so inviting and welcoming.
