Coffee for your Interiors?
What does that mean?…you must be asking yourself!
Well, if you have browsed through this site and actually read the “About” page (haven’t read it?, then highly recommended)
you would know that my Husband and I had a café in small town Ontario, Canada for several years.
Our café made me happy, but unfortunately at the wrong time in life and with too many unforeseen circumstances.
When the decision came to try and establish myself back into the working world, I needed something that was manageable from our rural location. Getting back into the world of Interiors from Residential, Commercial, and Event Styling was the way to go! After all, I have experience in all three areas without the formal certification (like some top Designers out there).
I have been exposed to all three through my retail design and merchandising work. The most recent projects for Interior Design and Styling work I had was our café, which was gutted back to the studs, and our home (always a work in progress, see magazine features on “Home” page, if you haven’t seen or read them, also highly recommended). The house was designed on a paper napkin (literally) and executed from scratch ( just like the many recipes I like to come up with in our kitchen and used at our café).
I needed an outlet to be creative! (Blogging and Instagram are really filling that void)
It is who I am and what I love to do! Life is too short and you must do what makes you happy (life long lesson). With a few local interior projects under my belt and two major magazine features, the start of my dabbling into the world of interiors has begun. I cannot lie, there is a lot of competition and a lot of designers/stylists out there and when your trying to rev up again after being out of the loop for sometime, it’s not easy!
Being the creative person that I am, and having an entrepreneurial side because of my retail background, and the fact that finding unique and one of a kind items for various interiors has played a big part of my life. An E-commerce Shop was the next step!
I am an artist at heart and love to create, paint, and design. So to have my work on quality sourced, and locally made decor was always in the plan.
But…COFFEE! another void that needed to be filled because it was and is such an important part of life in our home.
We love our COFFEE! and I couldn’t give it up.
So here we are with branded C2-interiors.com Coffee for your interiors!
Firstly, I will begin by saying that I would not have given this a thought had it not been for our Roaster. They are committed to sourcing, and producing quality products with a conscious effort to be environmentally and ethically sound.

I have created Coffee for your Interiors to reflect what any interior should be about: Whether it’s your HOME and everyone is WELCOME and free to ESPRESSO yourself . If it’s a business?… then letting your Staff or Clients feel like they are at HOME, everyone is WELCOME (ed) and people have the ability to ESPRESSO themselves.
