About jewelboxlady
I'm a wife and working mother of two-teenage boys living in an 1800 sq. ft. colonial house on the North Shore of Chicago. The Jewel Box Home exists because my husband refused to move to a bigger house. When I could not find a single interior designer willing to help me decorate our little place - my budget and house were both too small - I taught myself how to do it and the Jewel Box Home was born. I now know that the most important feature of a home is not its size, but how it makes people feel. Besides, you can't have everything, where would you put it? I look forward to seeing you soon at the Jewel Box Home.Website: http://www.thejewelboxhome.com
