Hi, I’m Jessica, and I live in Upstate New York in an old Colonial home with my husband and DIY partner, Dan. By day I’m a worker bee, but by night I’m a knee-pad wearing, drill-wielding, spray painting do-it-yourself project queen. I’m also a graduate student working on my Ph.D. Do I sneak away and redecorate the mantle when I’m supposed to be studying? More often than I can admit!

In between all that I blog at Décor Adventures, where I share DIY tips, furniture makeovers, home improvement projects and more. That fun happens at our first home, which was built in 1900 and has lot of old house charm including fireplaces, original wood floors and trim, stained glass, and pocket doors. Generally you can find us renovating a bathroom, working in the yard, or figuring out what kind of project fun to have next.
I started Décor Adventures in 2009 as a creative outlet and a way to share what I love – home decor, crafts and DIY. It is a place for you to find decorating resources, creative ideas and to read about my project fun and mis-adventures along the way. I hope to give you useful, practical resources for styling and enjoying your life and home. You can find all of my projects here.
I’d love to connect with you on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Google+.
