You don’t have to compromise beautiful design to be family-friendly

I know that you want to be proud of your home and you want to feel completely comfortable. To really be happy, you need to love not only the individual furnishings but also how everything comes together. The reality is that having children makes life messy which makes you feel like you have to wait until they grow up to have that dream home.

Can you imagine your kids growing up in a beautiful home that holds up to real life? Can you picture having friends and family over and not stressing about how your house looks? You can have a home that truly makes you happy!

Stress Ruled My Household

I understand how it feels to want nice pieces of furniture but know it’s not ideal because of the sticky hands and spills left behind when raising children. I spent those early years closing off areas of my house to preserve the furnishings I had carefully selected so that my children wouldn’t mess them up.

Make Your Mark

When my daughter took a permanent marker to our furniture, I was beyond frustrated and knew there had to be another way! No longer would worry rule my house. It was then, I created my Marker Girl “Make Your Mark” philosophy by celebrating a family-friendly way of living, and also encourages my clients to express their own personal style in the design of their homes.
