Hi! ☺️ It’s been awhile since I’ve introduced myself so I wanted to share a few things about me!
1. My name is Joanna but my family and friends call me Nana or Jos
2. I’m a NICU Nurse, furniture artist, interior designer, DIYer, blogger, and content creator (whew! What a long list 🥵)
3. I’m 36 years old and a mother to a wonderful 13year old boy (if you’ve been here you’ve seen him on my stories with his wonderful reactions 🤣 saved in my highlights) and a dog mom to Penny our border collie/Spaniel mix
3. I’ve been with my partner Luis for almost 18 years!
4. We’re homeowners of a single family home and own a rental property with three units.
5. One of my dreams is to own property as a vacation home for family and Airbnb (water front would be lovely 😍)
6. I’m passionate about helping people create spaces they feel good in
7. I’ve been refinishing furniture for 6 years and love to turn an ugly piece of furniture into something beautiful and incorporate that into my design.
8. I love thrift shopping! I see potential in so many items!
9. I was born in New York but raised in Rhode Island. I am of Dominican descent 🇩🇴
10. I love going out to eat,music, and dancing.
But let’s be real here
I’m not athletic at all. I can’t and don’t like to run (running feels awkward to me 😂)
Yoga makes me super sore. My body can’t stretch much. I can’t even touch my toes!
I just started eating and liking cooked veggies like 2 years ago
I have a dark sense of humor (It’s the way I cope 🙃)
That’s enough about me! Now tell me something about you!

A little throw back Thursday on this St. Patrick’s Day 🍀 and some good news for those of you who have been inquiring about custom furniture pieces!!
We’re renovating our garage soon so that I can work in it year round! No more waiting for warmer weather to work on furniture!
The garage will become a better workshop, storage, and studio that’ll be nice and cool in the summer and warm in the winter! No more sweating my butt off on my IG stories 😅
I’ll be sure to share updates and let you know when and where to submit your custom furniture requests!

A year ago we started renovations on our first rental property. This was my first ever design, an apartment with the main focus being the kitchen and bathroom. This was my chance to create a space that was bright and modern. Even though it was just an apartment, like many would say. I put the same amount of effort and energy into this as I would any other space.
I grew up living in apartments, my family never owned a home so creating this for someone to rent meant more to me than just a nice space. It was meant to be a beautiful apartment that they could call home.

One of the best parts of this design is the unique and one of a kind furniture. That sideboard and dining table isn’t something you can find right away at a store or could easily buy online. Having unique items like this is what makes your home YOURS. Being able to change something to fit your style and save you money is a win in my book!
