Interior Decor & So Much More
We want your space to reflect you... what you LOVE & who you are. Creating a place where you belong... and other long to be!
Our story started out in a whirlwind romance ~ we met at work & quickly became friends ~ kindered spirits meeting in a seredipity manner... a year later we married, bought our first house... a fixer upper farm house in a rural setting south of Ottawa. We gutted to the exterior walls & replaced all the systems ~ in some cases there were none to begin with ~ no running water in the house or central heating system... and for those of you that know Canada ~ we need heat in the winter months! We loved that first home & quickly out grew it with a growing family & a growing business...
In order to stay home with our growing family, I taught Decorative Art classes in the evening and on weekends under the name Farmer Di’s Country Crafts~ suitable since living in an old farm house... the name was given to me by my Father-In -Law... One day my In-laws came for a visit from the city... and there I was to greet them on the front porch wearing my Gum Rubber boots! He calls out ~ Hey, ther’s Farmer Di! and the name stuck...
We quickly out grew our first home, we knew we needed to find a larger space... and out on one of our driving tours came across an older home in a small village on a large lot. Fast forward a couple months & we bought it! A Doctors house with space for my Studio, our growing family & a bonus garage for the hubby! I continued to teach painting classes & later attending Interior Design school where I graduated with honors... Welcome Home INteriors was born!
Working with clients & helping their dreams become a reality was my goal ~ many projects complete & happy clients being the result!
I then took my Real Estate courses & sold Real Estate ~ for 6 years I helped my clients stage their homes For Sale and helped them find a new space~ A win-win all around.
Our current chapter...
Mike & I travelled for a couple of years and are now settled down just outside of Merrickville...in a beautiful home in the country. Welcome Home Interiors has reimerged & I am doing consultions, and sub-contracting to a friend’s upholstery business where we are bringing in a line of Paint for furniture painting & decorating in Kemptville, Ontario (the place where I was born)!
