Introduction	I created Summerland Style after discovering my passion for breathing new life into worn furnishings. Embracing my entrepreneurial wiring I now run my furniture and home decor company from my funky downtown loft studio and ship my products all over the world. This blog was created to give you a glimpse into my hectic, hilarious, and highly enthusiastic life. I sometimes "joke" that it's all I can do to keep my kids off the roof. But those that know me have heard legendary tales of my boys' high altitude adventures. The fact that I can get anything accomplished is almost unbelievable. But, boy, do I try!

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?

I hated losing my teeth! I was 9 before I lost my first one on my own (sans dentist).
