EVENT & PROJECT PLANNING

From business seminars to blogstress gatherings, weddings to websites, parties to presentations, I’ve orchestrated events and planned projects for groups of five to 5,000.  For my own wedding, pictured here, I planned six events in three days … and still enjoyed myself as though I were a guest.

To discuss your project or event, please email me or call 215-429-2000.

STYLE MANIAC

In 2009 I created the Style Maniac blog based on my belief that as long as you decorate, dress, eat and entertain you may as well do it with style.  Since then, Style Manaic has expanded into a lifestyle brand followed by a loyal and growing group of smart, fun, stylish women.  Readers tune in daily for a dose of pretty pictures, evocative writing, easy style tips and upbeat conversations about decorating, fashion, entertaining, art, music, movies, love, laughter, life … and living every day with style.

Currently the brand includes the blog, website, Tumblr site, and Facebook Page; plus additional social media outlets such as Pinterest, Twitter and YouTube.

Plans to expand into additional new and traditional media are in the works.  Stay tuned ….

Links to all brand sites can be found on the Style Maniac website.

THE BLOGSTRESS NETWORK

In January of 2011, along with two blogging friends and neighbors, Lee Romano Sequeira and Barbara Hammond, I founded The Blogstress Network, a new global social network supporting and connecting women bloggers online and in person.  Through our website and social media sites we share advice and tips on blogging and help women to connect in real life over coffee or cocktails, a simple yet powerful idea that makes a world of difference in the online experience.

DUST & CHANDELIERS

I created the Dust & Chandeliers blog to give clients and readers a glimpse at what happens behind the scenes of my decorating business, The Redecorators LLC.  The blog is a mix of before and after photos, dramatic makeover stories, behind-the-scenes peeks at our process, great quotes and gorgeous shots of chandeliers.  Why “Dust & Chandeliers”? Because things usually have to get dirty before they get pretty.

WRITING & EDITING

I began writing soon after I began reading at age four, and haven’t stopped since.  Writing credits include 38 published features in magazines, newspapers and books; video scripts and teaching curriculums; corporate newsletters with circulation over 350,000; and 500+ blog posts.  As owner of an independent publishing company I oversaw design, production and editing of 11 books, and have edited many more on a freelance basis.  

Shown here, a sample manuscript page from a book I edited, Small Lives by Jac Simensen.

STYLING & MAKEOVERS

My styling & entertaing tips for a “Summer Solstice” were featured in Philadelphia Magazine Home & Garden.  Along with my design partner I also styled the spaces in our HGTV shows, events for Citibank and Head House Books, plus dozens of one-day home makeover miracles that used only a client’s existing furniture, art and accessories.
