About Leslie:
I’ve been a full time Faux Finisher since 2000, and part time years prior when my son was small. I’ve worked with some high end clients and have traveled all over the eastern US to work on homes, condos and offices. But my greatest accomplishment was working on the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter here in Kentucky as the Lead Faux Finisher for the past several years.
I’m the mother to a wonderful grown son, who’s a Mechanical Engineer. I have THE BEST husband in the world & we’ve been married since 1983, & we live on my grandparents farm, where I grew up.
We currently own 2 Airbnb rental properties, one of which you’ll see me post about often built here on the family farm. My husband & I like to ride motorcycles (well, I ride on the back of his!!) I’ve had horses, alpacas & llamas, but currently no farm animals, just a beautiful Great Pyrenees (former guardian of said alpacas) named Zoe along with her best friend Daisy the barn cat! (who is actually in the house more than out!)
I love to do DIY projects! And my husband humors me & helps! I learned all things DIY from my father. I learned all my furniture refinishing from my mother & grandmother, when going “junkin” wasn’t even a thing back then! But I love ALL things interior design wise & I wake up sometimes thinking of new ideas! I am a HUGE Disney fan….Disney World is my happy place! It is eye candy for this Creative…I get so much joy in seeing all the finishes of the buildings & it sparks my imagination!
So welcome to my blog where I have the freedom to release all my design ideas, inspirations and some fun projects along the way!
