Rambling Renovators: About Jen

About Jen

Hi! I’m Jennifer Flores and welcome to my online home.

Rambling Renovators is your resource for finding classic home design inspiration that combines beauty and function, shopping tips, and lifestyle topics for the mid-life mom.

Since 2007, each month my home and lifestyle blog has received thousands of visitors from around the world just like you!

If you are looking for traditional and classic design style ideas, DIY home improvement projects that look like they were done by the pros, and inspiration for creating a beautiful and intentional life - you’ve found your place.

This blog started in 2007 as a chronicle of our adventures in transforming our first house. As someone who had power tools on her wedding registry, I know the desire to leave your imprint and create a welcoming home. Whether you’re undertaking a down-to-the-studs DIY renovation, decorating for the holidays, or seeking budget-friendly home products, I have what you need.

Together with my handy husband Sean, I’ve created classic, cozy and welcoming homes. You’ll find our approachable style evident throughout our current home in Toronto, Canada, our summer cottage in Prince Edward County, and our first fixer-upper semi-detached home.

We don’t rush through our home projects (unless we’re participating in the six-week One Room Challenge) but try to be thoughtful and well-planned out. My philosophy is to do it once, do it right, and it will last you a lifetime.

We think know that going the extra mile, putting that extra bit of effort into the smallest of details, brings about results that are that much more memorable, original, and don't look DIY. Even Nate Berkus said our DIY master bedroom wall "looks like a million bucks" so you know it can make a difference ;)

You won’t find trendy decor here. What you will find is timeless design, budget-friendly tips, and step-by-step tutorials for DIY beginner to advanced projects.
