Viewers, meet Amy!

Q-What's your favorite room in your house?
A-I would have to say the master bedroom. Through our recent renovation of that room, we were able to create a space that I find to be so welcoming and soothing. It is my favorite space because it reflects my true style. It was not something that happened overnight either. It took 3 years of living in the space as it was, gathering inspiration, finding the right pieces, and having everything come together at the right time.

Q- Do you have a current favorite item/piece?
A- Over the years, I have been working toward creating a home that includes all special pieces. Our goal is to be surrounded by things we love and let go of all the rest. I will say that I do have some pieces that are extra special to me...

the Amish harvest table in the dining room (I love the history and character.)

the canopy bed in my master bedroom (I sleep like a princess.)

the Greyhound sign in the master bedroom (I fell in love with it the instant I saw it.)

the lighting my hubby creates from engine parts (He lights up my life!)

Q- Describe your style in 3 words or less.
A- Traditional. Industrial. Cottage.

Q- By day you are a______ by night you are a ________?
A- By day I am a health educator, and by night I am a junker, blogger, antique store vendor (junkologie.com), decorator, DIYer, blogger, graphic designer, and photographer.

Q- What's your dream job?
A- I love the job I have. As a health educator, I get to work in a field that promotes healthy bodies, minds, and spirits. I love the challenge of being creative and constantly learning new things, so my career (and my hobbies) fit perfectly with that.

Q- Favorite Color?

A- I love whites and earth tones the most. They are so calming and create a fabulous foundation for any punches of color I want to add.

Q- Favorite food?

A- My absolute favorite food is actually a beverage...water. Weird, I know, but I love it. I don't drink coffee, soda, or milk. I do adore fresh lemonade and limeade though. If I had to pick an actual food, I love a good pizza now and then! Oh, and I am conducting a global search for the world's best sesame chicken. So far, the hands-down winner is T. Jin's China Diner in College Station, TX. But the search continues!

Q- Something unique about you

A- I just signed up to run my first half-marathon this summer. Since I've been a huge slacker on my fitness the past several months, I'm slowly picking back up on being active every day with a range of various strength and cardio activities. Wish me luck!

Isn't she wonderful?! If you haven't checked out her blog yet you are truly missing out!

And because I love giving my 2 cents, here's why I heart Amy and her cottage:

1- She has a real "eye" for junk!

2- Her blog title. I know... silly right? but seriously..... it's charming and yet "deep". To quote Amy, "Life whispers, listen carefully." Think about it.

3- She patiently waits for the "perfect" item/furniture/piece rather than just filling in the blanks just because. (and then blogs about it!)

4- Her house is truly unique. Click here to Go check out her home tour!

5- She's witty, funny, and charming. If you follow her blog, or visit often enough you know what I mean :)
AND she's a health nut just like ME! {only she gets paid to teach about it and I don't. Count yourself lucky to have not heard my anti dairy speech ;) }
