About Affordable Design and Decore

My background in design started when I was very young. My grand father was a builder/designer.  He was very talented and built many furniture pieces in addition to houses.  My father and his brothers owned a floor and wallcoverings store for over 40 years.  I always loved the smell of new carpet because of the time I spent in dad’s store. It was only natural for me to develop a love of design.  So at 18 I decided I was going to be an interior designer. 

What Inspired Me

In 1997, I graduated college with interior design and business degree.  My husband and I owned a construction company from 1996-2007.  During that time I designed many additions, kitchens, bathrooms, sunrooms, garages, 2nd stories etc.  I  enjoy solving living space problems  while creating  a look that will be loved for many years to come.

In 2008, I went to work in the corporate world but I decided in 2020 that life is too short to not do what I love… design.

Our homes are the foundation that help build lasting family memories by being the backdrop for our family pictures.  For that reason they should always be beautiful and comfortable. 

Beautiful Design does not need to be expensive. It can be affordable. This combination is what we are all about!

Beautiful design you can afford.
