Seasonal Container Design

How it started — Over 20 years ago, I purchased my first home and garden, a turn of the century Baltimore city row house with a postage stamp for a garden. I was hooked! Transforming old, fussy, and outdated into a welcoming, bright, and functional space that reflected personal style while still remaining respectful to the context of the space became a lifelong obsession. I’ve renovated a number of homes, and helped friends and neighbors with their own home and gardening challenges: rearranging furniture, paint choices, planting a new garden, caring for plants, or lending an eye to an area that ‘wasn’t working. I appreciate the potential of a gutted house, an untidy garden or a perpetually messy corner. 

How it’s going — Recently, I made the decision to focus all of my energy on Fresh Look Design, a home and garden design business that perfectly pares my professional experience in the graphic design world with my lifetime love of home and garden design. My container garden services quickly became one of the the simplest ways that home and business owners alike could up their curb appeal. Better yet, they found that having beautiful containers filled with seasonal creations brought beauty and joy to their doorsteps. Beauty and joy - that’s a win in my book!

Let’s work together!
