1.Luke-
He's my best friend and I love him more than anything!
2. Reading/listening to music-
Ok..I'm cheating a little by combining these! I'm always doing one or both all throughout the day. I love discovering new music and listening to my favorites and I'm always reading something. Books,blogs,magazines....I love them all!
love collecting and reading vintage books-these are stacked in what will be our Library
3. Vintage-
Thrifting,collecting,wearing,researching..I love everything about it! I would say that 80% of my things are vintage/thrifted and some of my favorites to collect are jewelry boxes and millinery. Most of my free time is spent searching for treasures, the older and dustier the shop the better!

4. Old Movies-
One of my favorite things to do is watch classic movies. I would love to eventually watch every movie I can find! I watch a lot of TCM and Netflix while I'm working so I watch tons of old films, there is so much inspiration!
5. Beauty
Almost all of my favorite jobs have been in beauty and I love trying out new products and experimenting with makeup and hair colors.(doing the makeup for theater in highschool was fun)
6. Our House-
We recently moved into our first home and I'm so excited to finally have a place of my own. It's over 150 years old and is in the historic district in town. I've always dreamed of having a big old house and I'm so excited to restore it! I love home design/decorating and I'm working on painting and filling it with vintage pieces.
7. DIY-
I like to learn to do as much on my own as possible and I love working with my hands and creating things. I've been buying old furniture lately and I'm learning to reupholster to make them fresh and modern with a vintage design. I love cooking and experimenting with recipes for my favorites and I've become a pretty good cook!

| I love painting and working on the house. It's so fun picking out the colors and designing the rooms. We went from renting a small space.. It pretty much needs an entire restoration/makeover and I have plenty of work to do! |

8. Nature-
I love being around flowers,plants,animals and spending time outside. We love going on bike rides and picnics and hanging out with our pets who make me laugh everyday.

9.Design-
I've been a part of some amazing photo shoots and had a big dream come true..this winter one of my designs was featured in a magazine.
10. Road tripping-
Whether it's 15 minutes away to St.Louis,5 hrs to Chicago, or 30 hrs+ non-stop to Portland, OR...we love taking road trips! (I've only been on a plane once..it was raining and water was dripping on me inside the cabin! Scary.) I love driving with the windows down and music up and going off to discover a new town.
