She has transformed her 1751 cape style farmhouse with a riot of color full of hand-painted murals, artistic painting and printing. Her home has been featured in Country Home Magazine and on the website Houzz . Her inspiration for her artwork comes from historic and ethnic textiles and from favorite painters Matisse, Van Gogh and the Bloomsbury Artists. She has authored nine books on knitting and embroidery.

“The only challenges we had with this was the walls being uneven and around the door was uneven but that wasn’t due to the wallcovering…the wall wasn’t straight and around the door wasn’t straight so we had to do a little patching here and there but not a whole lot and you can’t really see where it was done! Which is really awesome!!…We felt awesome after we finished because it looked Beautiful! I bet it didn’t take any more than three hours maybe less. When I love a product I love to tell everyone….My husband keep[s] saying how much easier this was to install on the wall compared to traditional wall paper. We both are very impressed with it ! Love it !”
