HEY THERE, I’M EILEEN.
Having always loved design and all things history, I went to college to get an Architecture degree and graduated from Clemson in 2009. During that time, I studied architecture abroad in Italy which cemented my love for travel and seeing design from all over the world - the older the buildings the better!
After graduation, I worked for an interior design firm for 5 years, learning all I could and falling more in love with construction and spatial design. I worked on flipping our old houses and then when our twins were born I juggled two bottles in one hand and a paintbrush in the other to keep up with the renovations that I loved doing. After our youngest daughter was born, I took that love of old things and the stories they tell one step further and became a vintage and antique dealer for 3 years.
When the chance came with my husband’s job to move to France on an assignment in 2021, we jumped at it. The privilege to introduce our daughters to travel and the huge wide world was such a gift. We made the most of it by squeezing in as many trips around Europe as possible. And of course being an antique and vintage dealer, I was thrilled at the idea of filling up a container with French antiques! We lived in a city in central France with our three girls for a year and a half until Greenville (and renovations) called us home, but don’t worry, the antiques came with us.
