About Us

Everything in life has a before and after and in most cases you are the one who controls it.  I am Michelle, a Charleston, West Virginia transplant, a DIY addict, fashion enthusiast, and design lover.   My husband Ryan and I have 2 wonderful dogs Tulipai (5 years old) and Ninka (2 years old) , both French Bulldog-Pug hybrids that rule our lives.   This is our living story of all the befores and afters in our life.  Some DIY’s are success’ and others are projects we learn from.  You never know until you put forth the effort!  We recently sold our first home and are getting settled into our second.  Many more DIY projects lie ahead!
