Hi! I am so glad you’re here. I’m Ashley, wife, mom and the designer behind PAD. I have an obsession for all things home, DIY, interiors, lifestyle, and the occasional recipe.
That’s Wayne, he’s the brawn behind all of my crazy ideas and truly makes my visions come to life. When we’re not working on our home you can usually find us snuggled up watching a good movie or trying to rein in our kids.
What I Do
Many people believe one of two things about decorating.
A} They could never have a well-styled home because you can’t “Learn” to decorate, it’s just something you’re born with.
B} They cannot afford to decorate because of that age-old belief that decorating is reserved only for the wealthy.
Well, I teach everyday women just like YOU that YOU CAN, in fact, learn to decorate by breaking the entire process down into simple actionable steps and easy DIY projects that will help you create a well-styled home and life that you love on any budget.
Plus for those of you that just don’t have the time or desire to do it yourself, we have amazingly affordable E-design services where we plan everything for you, all you do is simply execute the plan, see our services page for more details.
Life begins at home, why shouldn’t it be beautiful?
As women and moms we spend so much time in our homes yet we often don’t take the time or simply aren’t sure how to turn our homes into our favorite place to be!
Having a beautiful home isn’t just reserved for the wealthy and the elite, it is possible to create a beautiful home no matter where you are in life. Waiting for that dream home or when your kids get older is something many people do but you can 100% make it happen today and you don’t need tons of money to do it.
I wholeheartedly believe that living in a well-designed home is so powerful and the influence it can have on your children, family, and life is something that is so important to me and something that I want you to experience because You and your family deserve to love the home your in!
Who We Are
We are a blended family of six from Oklahoma, between the two of us, my husband and I have four kids and a pup named Sparkles!
We both have day jobs so life can get crazy at times and weekends are extremely busy but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
After living in many homes that lacked personality and didn’t express who we are, we bought and began renovating our home, one project at a time. It hasn’t been easy, mostly because we’ve had to figure things out as we go but because of that, you get to skip the struggle!
Wayne is the muscle behind all of our projects, he has experience in construction and that has definitely helped move our journey along and if I am being truly honest he makes it all happen.
Still not sure if we could be friends?
I love 90’s hip hop and country, vintage artwork, neutral interiors with a few pops of color, modern farmhouse style, saving money on some pieces but splurging on others, before and afters, peonies, marble countertops, vintage rugs, brass everything, tufted furniture, and cognac colored leather!
