Elegance in Black and White

About Me

I'm Melanie, 41, from right outside Boston, Ma. I have been married to Rob for 17 years. We have 2 girls Olivia, 18, and Layla, 15. We have 2 dogs, Mika a 2 year old papillon and a new pomsky puppy named Beetle. We just bought our 1st home, an old farmhouse built circa 1790! We are doing all the renovations ourselves (my hubby is a contractor) and having a blast! We are die hard New England Patriots fans who don't pronounce our "R's" and use the word "wicked" as an adjective, so basically the stereotypical Bostonian. I'm a lover of all things crafty, obsessed with most anything horror related and been to Disney World more than 11 times! Graphic design intrigues me and I've learned most of everything I know from Google. I am proud to say I've never owned an iPhone, I am a true Android snob. My newest hobbies include quilting and woodworking. I used to be on this site all the time, but life happens. I'm hoping to be back for a while again and hope to get to know all the new faces!
