It’s been almost four years since I tossed the fear of failure to the side and started my little blog. My hope was that I’d be able re-connect with something I’ve been passionate about since I was little girl – making things pretty, i.e interior decorating. I also hoped that a few people (outside of my immediate family) would read it, enjoy it and perhaps be inspired. I’ve accomplished both goals and learned so much along the way. I mean I didn’t even know what WordPress was four years ago and I built INTERIORStyle by Kiki by myself – thanks to tons of late night google searches. And I must say, it looks pretty damn good around here! I’m looking forward to taking things to the next level by connecting with more of you and giving you even more tips, ideas, and inspiration to help you create a beautiful space that reflects who you are. Since I want to be your “partner in design” I think it’s only fair that I share a little more about who I am. So, allow me to reintroduce myself by sharing “20 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me.”
Allow Me To Re-introduce Myself: 20 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me
1 – Pink is my signature color.
2 – I’ve loved decorating since I was a kid. I rearranged my bedroom furniture at least every few months. I also used old towels to make carpet and wrapping paper to make wallpaper for my dollhouses.
3 – I drink Starbucks coffee (a Venti Americano with a splash of nonfat milk, to be exact) every morning. All the baristas know my name, my order and call me their “Olivia Pope”
4 – I’m 5’9 and I’ve been this height since 7th grade.
5 – My favorite song is “Ribbon in the Sky” by Stevie Wonder
6 – I really hate when someone calls me in response to a text message I sent them. I texted you because I DIDN’T wanna talk!
7 – I prefer deeper conversations vs small talk about the weather.
8 – My favorite food is french fries and I really don’t like to share them.
9 – My most embarrassing moment happened when I was about 7 or 8. Apparently, I was really looking forward to playing with my friends because I ran outside to play…without any pants on!
10 – My first celebrity crush was Leroy from FAME (Hey, I was 5! Don’t judge me)
11 – I was a subject in a hypnotist’s show in Las Vegas…I was actually hypnotized for a little bit.
12 – Wonder Woman was (and still is) my favorite super hero. She was beautiful, strong and she had the best jewelry. What’s not to love?
13 – People often mistake my calm, quiet demeanor for “snootiness”….until they get to know me.
14 – I get teary-eyed at least once a week. A sappy commercial, a movie, someone complimenting me, or seeing someone else cry will get me choked up every time.
15 – “Annie” is one of my favorite movies.
16 – I trained as a classical pianist from the age of 6 until I graduated from high school. I also played clarinet, bass clarinet, cymbals and xylophones.
17 – I have never taken a picture with Santa Claus. As a kid, I feared Santa was a psycho that would kidnap me. (maybe Mom shouldn’t have let me watch those soap operas – LOL)
18 – I’m not a good singer but, I love karaoke.
19 – I don’t watch a lot of TV, When I do, it’s either the news or trashy reality shows. There is no in between.
20 – As a former claims adjuster, I once inspected a roof for storm damage and ended up sitting on the roof for 20+ mins – in 100 degree heat. Why you ask? Well, I made the big mistake, looked down at the ground and suddenly, I became deathly afraid to climb down the ladder. Thank God the homeowner wasn’t there to see it!
Since we’re friends, I trust that you totally admire my bravery and willingness to share some pretty embarrassing moments wit you, right? RIGHT!?
Ok, great. Because those are the things that make me who I am -cool, quirky, uniquely, Kiki – Your partner-in-design.
