A la Carla

Every summer I spent a week with my grandparents doing wonderful things that helped me appreciate the simple things in life: gardening, canning vegetables, baking, cooking and even sitting on the porch and listening to everyone’s stories of their childhood and their adventures. 
 

Both of my grandmothers encouraged my self-expression, allowing me to rearrange furniture, choosing their outfits and accessories while praising my style and taste.  These are the moments that I cherish to this day and do my best to replicate with my daughters and my granddaughters. 
 

Growing up in the country and being able to experience a variety of opportunities provided a substantial foundation for me.  My parents were educators and were intent on making sure I had a good education.  Their sacrifice allowed me to attend Meredith College, a private women’s school in Raleigh, NC.  It was there that
I first heard the expression, “Treat your company like family and your family like company.”  This phrase has become my life’s motto. 
 

In every aspect of my life, I keep this motto close to my heart.  My true passion is to listen to what people need, provide options, solutions and resources so they can hopefully live a happier and more fulfilled life. 

Most of us have worn multiple hats throughout our personal and professional lives.  Referencing the lessons I’ve learned through my experiences, I take great pride in assisting people in whatever capacity they need. 
I truly enjoy helping others create an experience that will enhance their life. 

From whimsical to elegant, simple to ornate, traditional to modern, easy to intricate, let me help you!
