Welcome to The Happy Place

At its core, The Happy Place will ignite and inspire the inner designer in every one of us. We all have a deep personal connection to the place we call “home” and we share a common desire to curate our best life. It doesn’t mean you have to be knowledgable, savvy or even interested in design. The Happy Place is a destination that explores, motivates and empowers the experience of living a life with intention and how that reflects in your interiors. I not only look forward to sharing what The Happy Place means to me, but I’m even more excited to help cultivate what The Happy Place means to you!

This site will give you a closer look into my favorite kitchen finds. Enjoy!
