When Kids Come Back Home as Guests

When Kids Come Back Home as Guests

It feels weird that this is my first holiday season when my kids come back home as guests. No matter where my mind is during the day, holiday gifts shopping or meeting with a client, at the end of each day all my thoughts somehow get squeezed into only one funnel - my kids. This is for twenty five years and two hundred and ten days, since the first one was born. Now, when they … [Read more...]

About Marina Klima

Hello!
I am Marina Klima, and as my name suggests I am water and beach obsessed! I grew up on the Black Sea in a unique and beautiful city, Odessa where people want to know all about you and your business (in a good way).

As you guessed, I am an interior designer and a founder of this blog.

I am here to help you to make your home decor projects easy and more fun. Here I share my tips, ideas, and resources with you. I sprinkle every post with a bit of common sense which comes from my day-to-day interior design practice.

I could never dream of having my own house. I was giddy with excitement when I turned the keys to my first house! I always had a good sense of color and design, so decorating was not a problem for me. But I still wanted to know more. That led me to my second degree in interior design. Since that time I was blessed with the clients that became a part of my life.

When I am not designing or reflecting on the blog posts, you can find me at the beaches of New Jersey. Read More About Marina
