The Start of Something...

My "crew"

Hi,  my name is Michelle and I'm addicted to design.  It started with a heavy interest in art, drawing and painting.  I took art throughout high school and even applied to the Ontario College of Art.  However, I ended up changing direction and eventually ended up in health care???  Looking back now I can't believe I didn't pursue an education in interior design.  My mom was always taking on DIY jobs around the house and eventually I got involved too.  Refinishing antiques, hanging wallpaper, redesigning the deck and re-doing my room over March break were all jobs we took on.  I guess I'm a late bloomer.  Anyways, now I'm married with 2 kids, a home of my own, a part-time job and a crazy interest in all things home.  That doesn't mean I have the time or the cash to see all of my "visions" through to completion as of yet, but I'm working on it.  Our home is one big work in progress and the Company in DeFoe and Company would be my family, mostly my husband.  He helps me out where I need him.  This blog seemed like a natural progression from just being an interest in design to possibly something more, we'll see where this goes... So, welcome to my blog!
