Hi, I'm Brandie! Wife of James, remodeling contractor, and mother of William and Maggie, 15 and 16, the best kids a mom could ask for. I'm a design junkie. I can't remember ever being anything different. As a little girl, my mom and I would sneak into old, abandoned homes and talk about how we'd fix them up. That sparked my love for design and it's been burning hot ever since. I collected Sears and Jim Walter Homes catalogs and would figure out how much it would cost me for the perfect house filled with all the perfect things. I still fall asleep redesigning homes in my head and it's all I daydream about when I'm awake. I've fashioned my own home into something I love and I am obsessed with extending that same passion to others' homes!
