I have been married to my husband Nick for almost 14 years, and we have 4 kids (Johannah, Christian, Beckham, & Sebastian). We live in Iowa…love this state!

I was born in the Philippines and the youngest of 7 girls.  Yes, you read that right.  ALL girls!  One of them is my identical twin sister.

I used to be a wedding and lifestyle photographer, but now you’ll see me only taking pictures of my kids and my house.  My husband and I built our dream home 4 years ago.  He was the General Contractor, and I was the designer for it.  As a creative outlet, I started decorating my home and posted these on Instagram as inspiration for others.  You’ll notice from my feed and blog that I have a coastal farmhouse style which is bright and neutral with touches of soft pastel colors.  We actually sold that house in May and building another dream home!

I never thought starting an Instagram account and posting pictures of my house will get me to where I’m at today. Okay time to brag on myself HA!… I’ve been honored with being named a 2018 and 2019 Better Homes and Garden Stylemaker and a top 10 nominee for the 2018 Liketoknow.it Awards for the “home category.” My twin sister and I had an HGTV Facebook Live series called 2x Design where we shared how to style rooms 2 different ways, DIY projects, and decor tips. I have had the privilege of working with some of my favorite brands. There has been a lot of pinch me moments for sure!

…BUT my all time favorite is definitely getting to interact with YOU and even meeting some of you in person!
