Fun Facts
- I’ve been enchanted with design my whole life. I loved rearranging my room as a child... in fact, my furniture was falling apart from dragging it across the room to rearrange it when I had a new idea (which was often). The thrill of designing a new space never left me and lead me to a career I love where I've been able to be inspired and creative every day.
- I met my husband right out of high school at an amusement park where we both worked, (ice cream girl and security guard, true story).
- The Ellie + Iver Home Shop is named after those two cuties you see here, our sweet granddaughters.
- I love to travel and I’m always dreaming of our next adventure.
- You’ll often find me in the kitchen in the evening with a glass of wine making the family favorites.
- On the weekends in the summer you’ll find me with my family at our cabin in Northern Minnesota, and in our long winters, we love to defrost in Cabo San Lucas.
