Celebrating the beauty of old-world living has always been a part of my life.

My father’s side of the family is from France and learning how to appreciate my heritage came in the form of learning old family recipes, how to sew, and living life the “French way.”

It wasn’t until I transitioned from city life to life in a town where the population cattle outnumbers the population of people (I’m serious…), that I truly began to integrate the art of slow-living into my daily routine.

Sounds of traffic turned into the rhythm of nature, and I learned to appreciate the feeling of satisfaction that comes from working with one’s hands.

This, a sense of relief from the pressures of living in fast paced world as perfection melted away. I founded Boxwood Avenue because I believe everyone should feel this sense of peace.

Much like an unruly garden, Boxwood Avenue has grown in a way that highlights the luxury of simplicity: a place of inspiration and exploration of living more meaningfully with each and every day.
