Hi, I’m Chelsea!
(pronounced chel-see… You know, like Chelsea Clinton or Chelsea Handler.)
I’m a twenty-something Hoosier, working as an infant & toddler developmental therapist by day and blogger by night. This little slice of the Internet is where I share my home improvement projects, furniture makeovers, crafts, recipes, and home & seasonal decor ideas.
No, I’m not really naked in my head shot photo to the right. Or am I?
5 random tidbits about me:
1. I’m 5’10″, which is why I may look like a giant standing next to others in photos.
2. I despise the word “panties”. Please use the word “underwear” in my presence, if ever the topic should arise. Thank you.
3. I have naturally curly hair. Sometimes people will walk up to me and ask to touch it. If they appear to be trustworthy, I oblige.
4. Much of my creativity was developed during my 13 years in 4-H. My projects of choice were cake decorating, photography, foods, tin punch, recycled articles, and flower arranging. I get the rest of my creativity from my mom. (She get it from her mama.)
5. I grew up in a small, Mayberry-esque town in Northwest Indiana. Michiana, represent!
Want to know what I sound like? You know you do. Watch my very first (and currently, only) vlog.
That’s my husband, Brad, and I, K-I-S-S-I-N-G in some trees.
We met and began dating in 2005 while attending Indiana University. Go BIG RED!
He was in a fraternity. I was in a sorority {Phi Mu♥}.
Ours paths crossed because of our “Greekness”, and the rest is history!

We have a 4 year old puggle mix/mutt named Jack. We got him from an animal shelter when he was a pup. He loves his giant Kong tennis ball, chewing on sticks, napping in the sun, long walks in the park, and snuggling with us. We love him to pieces.
In June, 2009, we bought our first home in Indianapolis.
It’s a 4 bedroom, 2 bath ranch built in 2002. We’re attempting to make it a little less cookie cutter and a lot more awesome. Read about our house by clicking here.
The name, two twenty one, is inspired by our street address.
(Please don’t stalk me. If you do, be warned that we are gun owners.)
