In 2007, I started a small business designing rooms and making home accents for friends and clients. By 2011 I started this public DIY journal where I blog about some of my projects, designs and life.
I use the name ‘Down to Earth’ because my style is practical and comfortable. My designs are meant to be family friendly but visually interesting.
When I hear somebody say “Down to Earth” I think – not intimidating and real. If somebody thinks that I am “Down to Earth“, well – I’ll take that as a compliment.
I have a small retail space in The Lazy Daisy of Midlothian, VA. I enjoy up-cycling furniture and making home accents.
A few places you can see some projects featured are in the links below.
If you are looking for design assistance with your own space I specialize in redesign using your own furniture and decor.
This blog is purely for inspiration. I share techniques with painting and making furniture, home accents and styling homes.
I throw in a family story here and there, too.
This is my side-kick Mazi (like daisy)…

I saw the box in your foyer and wondered if the letters stood for Roanoke, VA. After seeing where you live, I guess it’s more likely for Richmond. (I live near Roanoke.)
Hi Patricia. The box has Richmond Virginia writtem on the other side. What a find! Right?
Wow small world!! I kept saying this lady looks familiar 🤣🤣 Hey classmate and old neighbor 🙋🏽♀️
Hahaha…the world is so small when you put yourself out there on line. Thanks for the comment and hello again! Roy…goodness sakes. My dad still lives close by. I love to visit.
Is this Roxanne W? If so, I can’t believe you popped up because I think about you sometimes and wonder why didn’t I hang out with you. You always had the happiest smile on your face. I think we were both so shy. I hope all is well with you and thank you for the message!
