About Us

Our founder started this business after escaping an abusive marriage.  While she had always loved her home and looked at it as her sanctuary, after her divorce so many of the rooms reminded her of the violence and evil that once lived there.  However; instead of packing up and leaving the only home she had ever truly loved, she decided to take back her life and not run from it. 

So, little by little, weekend over weekend, she began remodeling and redecorating one room at a time. Spending hours upon hours online looking for ideas, paging through hundreds of decorating magazines, and spending every weekend bouncing from store to store, until finally, after 6 months she was done.  As she walked from floor to floor, room to room, she was surprised that she found something she didn't expect to.  She found peace and a new beginning. 

Overcome with happiness, she was proud to share photos of the transformation with her friends.  They were so impressed with what she had managed to get done all on her own, that they began asking her to help them with their own home remodeling projects.  Whether it be remodeling a room for a baby turning into a toddler, decorating for the holidays, or helping them replace their own bad memories, she realized how passionate she was and how much she loved being able to make someone else's life better and brighter.  She enjoyed being able to help her friends create a magical and custom home that didn't cost thousands.  

So, a nightmare (escaping a violent marriage), turned into a magical dream - the birth of TheDecoratingDivas.

We are more than a business. We are more than hired help.  We are women who found each other through our own life experiences and realized, despite any pain or obstacle we had faced, we were all tremendously lucky.  We take pride in being able to help others and share our passion for turning nightmares into  dreams.  We cannot wait to meet yours!
