Holly Baker
Born and raised in Western Canada, Holly always dreamt of the sun and sea. At the age of 19, her dreams came true when she moved to Southern California to attend university. Soon after, she tied the knot with her high school sweetheart, Sean, not too far from the beach. Now back in Canada with their one-year-old daughter, Wren and two dogs they are in the midst of a full-blown DIY renovation, doing everything from installing over 2,000 square feet of hardwood flooring, tiling and plumbing to creating art and décor. Renovating and decorating are two of Holly's biggest passions, which eventually led to the creation of WhiteBerry Reinvented, her line of unique, one-of-a-kind furniture.

Domestic Ease, huh? I bet you’re thinking this is going to be some place you see projects and ideas that look wonderful, sound easy, but always turn out looking like a dog’s breakfast (what is a dog’s breakfast anyways? My dad always says this but I never had the guts to admit I had no idea what that is). Back to the point…I want to assure you that I am as untrained as they come in the arenas of home improvement and decorating and everything I share with you here will be tried, tested and true projects completed by myself, along with ideas and inspiration to make your house a home. So join me here every Monday to talk about everything from major DIY projects (that you can actually do!) to the tools that make your life easier, to finding your decorating style and getting the look in your home. I look forward to sharing our journeys together!
