Host profile image
Decorative Artist, Heather Bruno-Sears, combines her love of well-wrought work & Life itself to create an endless repertoire of clever visual effects…. Specializing in custom finishes for interior decor. Heather discovered the school house completely overgrown in near ruins w/ a huge hole in the roof & crumbling stonewalls all boarded up with a dirt floor. She knew it was a diamond in the rough - had a vision & passion to hands-on lovingly restore/renovate it….10 years later the labor of love gem it is today has the semblance of a cozy English cottage & serves as a show room for Heather’s exquisite finishes. Heather is happy to be able to host guests to this very special property which has the feel of a sanctuary retreat. www.heatherbrunosears.com
