Down to Earth Style: About

Thank you for stopping by. I am Holly, the creator of Down to Earth Style blog. I am not a photographer or a writer, really, but decorating has been my hobby for many years and I do DIY projects often. In September of 2011 - I started this public DIY journal to inspire a larger network of creative minds, my family and friends.

In 2007 I started designing rooms and making furniture and home accents for friends and clients. I tried various ways to distress, age and make furniture. I share the successful ideas with my readers.

I use the name Down to Earth because my style is really very simple and my designs are meant to be easy, practical and family friendly. When I hear somebody say "Down to Earth" I automatically think - not intimidating and real. If somebody thinks that I am "Down to Earth" - well, I take that as a compliment.

I also recycle old items when I can and I believe in keeping as much trash out of our landfills as possible. Earth friendly design is smart and can be beautiful. I am inspired by nature and love the rustic appeal it gives a space. I use natural elements in my designs when ever possible. Time worn furniture and architectural pieces are my favorite home accents.

I have enjoyed helping others make their home a comfortable & unique place. I hope to inspire readers of this blog to make their own home just as lovely.

My family....
