Originally from Pennsylvania, I had the incredible opportunity of spending nearly ten years growing up in Switzerland before returning to the States for college and have lived in Illinois, Texas and North Carolina over the years. I currently reside in Northern Virginia with my Swedish husband and our sweet golden retriever. I am a mom of two - a daughter in San Francisco and a son in New York - with an MBA in

international marketing, a past career within the meeting planning and hospitality industries, leadership work as a board member,

volunteer in the education field and founder/owner of maisonnette & co.

​

Time with my family, traveling - anywhere, baking, reading, experimenting with photography, scouring for architectural and antique finds for the shop and our home and implementing new house projects to my husband's dismay are just a few ways I fill my schedule and calendar outside

of work commitments. When the possibility of starting a business materialized sixteen years ago, weaving the concept of home

into the mix sparked the idea behind the decision to open the shop. 

​

maisonnette & co.​

​

Established in 2009, maisonnette & co. initially opened as a brick+mortar shop in historic downtown Leesburg, Virginia and is now

located at The Old Lucketts Store. The shop offers a handpicked selection of vintage goods and accessories for the home sourced

from the States, Canada and Europe.

 

This space is largely designed to serve as a resource for customers in addition to sharing the sometimes complicated, challenging and

rewarding realities surrounding running a business and stories of the never-ending projects my husband and I work on

to update our home - inside and out.

​

With the unlimited supply of information at our fingertips, I am hoping that this website will be a little corner to turn to for inspiration

as so many websites have provided me. More importantly, I look forward to building a community, engaging and connecting with

customers, readers and small business owners seeking to grow and learn in the same ways.

 

Thank you for visiting.
