About
My name is Angela Lerew. I am a stay-at-home mom with two girls. I started this journey after graduating from Texas A&M and marrying my best friend, Scott. We lived in Dallas for a year, then found our way to Pennsylvania for a job opportunity. We lived there for about 4 years, until Scott got transferred to Indianapolis, IN. We moved here at the end of 2008.
I have always had a passion for Interior Design and had started that path in college, until I changed direction and majored in History. During my time in college my love of design and history, took me to Europe…twice! I spent two summers soaking up the history and architecture. Finances don’t always allow for all the “ideas” I have…you can just ask Scott, so I have to improvise most of the time.
My improvising has taken me on a new journey of self-discovery! You will be amazed at what you can accomplish, if you want something bad enough. I hope that as you read my blog you will be inspired to find new ways of using unique items and make your home and life something you are proud to share!

Hi Angela,
Enjoyed your blog. I am going to be trying that wax paper tutorial. I have tried a few transfer methods and they haven’t been the results I had hoped for. This looks easy and fun.
I just became one of your linky followers. I am hoping you will get a chance to stop by my blog for a visit as I am new to blogging too.

Thanks for stopping by!!!
Hi Angela,
Had it not been a lucky path that lead to your wax paper transfer post, I wouldn’t have followed through with my amazing signs. I referenced you in one of my posts, as you were my saving grace. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Thanks Revi!!
Hi!~ I just came across your blog by chance, and am SO glad I did. You have several projects laid out on here that I have been wanting to try! YAY!
I, too, am a Texas girl that got “transferred” to Indianapolis, by way of my husband’s job. Glad to know another bit of the South is up here with me!
Tanya, thanks for stopping by!! I’ve lived on the East Coast and Indy feels a lot more like Texas to me. I really like it here!

Found u when I was googling myself, Angela Lerew! Then I read your blog and laughed out loud with my husband, Scott Lerew? What are the odds, to top it off I am from Lafayette, Indiana. My husband and yours are probably related, all his relatives are from Dillsburg, PA and the surrounding area. Would love to touch base with you just for fun. We live in the Wake Forest, NC area. I will also send this to your email so you have mine to respond.
Take care
Angie
Angie, I will send you an e-mail!
