My house didn’t feel like home!
I may be a qualified and experienced interior designer now, but several years ago things were very different.
In fact, I still remember the day my Dad asked me “Nicci, when are you going to stop living like you’re camping?” Ouch!
It was this wake-up call that helped me see how I’d been existing in a space that didn’t reflect who I was or how I wanted to live. My space didn’t feel like home, and I struggled to imagine a way out of my decorating rut! Over time I had bought cheap, quick fixes (that made no real difference), afraid of making mistakes or investing in pieces that didn’t work.
From that point forward, I let go of the fear of getting it wrong, clarified my personal style, (qualified as an interior designer) and transformed my home into one I LOVE!
Now, years later, I’m passionate about supporting others to transform their homes into spaces that make them feel good - because I know the difference it makes! If your house doesn’t feel like home - let’s talk!
