Simple Nature Decor brings what’s beautiful in nature into your home.

Simple Nature Decor is a place to share my decor style of nature-inspired and simple yet classic design ideas. What started as a simple way to de-stress with a daily nature walk with my dog. It developed into much more. On my daily walks, I started taking photos with my iPhone of oak trees, marshes and exotic plants all around my neighborhood, which led me to this unique and new journey.

I have been blogging for 10 years. It is my hope that you find this piece of the blogosphere as a place where you can inspire and escape the stresses of life. Thank you for visiting and below is a little more about me.

I grew up on a farm in upstate New York. From the get-go, my love for nature and the outdoors was transforming. My parents were creative people. My father was a farmer and my mom was home-maker born in Costa Rica. As a child, I spent a great deal of traveling back and forth to Costa Rica. My mom taught me how to sew and make amazing projects from nature.

I ran off to college in Manhattan studying liberal arts with a focus on writing and marketing. I met my husband in upstate New York. He was in medical school and we were totally opposite. It is true what they say about opposites do attract. He also shared a loved for the outdoors, nature and traveling. We fell in love and got married.

Moving forward, we relocated to Coastal Carolina where we raised three great kids. I was a  stay-at-home mom while dabbling in a few entrepreneurial projects. I enjoyed my life spending quality time watching the kids grown into fine young people. Once my children went off to college, it was then I needed something else. I discovered that I can take my love for writing and nature to create projects for the home. It was the perfect new hobby!

Today my hobby has turned into a blog that keeps growing and the opportunities are endless. I am so grateful to the amazing people I have met along the way.

Stay tuned for updates!
