My journey started many, many years ago...
It started with the passion to design. Knowing this passion, I decided to work in a small quaint floral shop; I fell in love. I did this for several years. I eventually started my own small floral business and enjoyed every minute of it.
I decided to put the flower business behind me and go in to the medical field where I worked for over 20 years. I retired from medicine in 2015 to pursue this business full time. The passion for flowers, design, construction, crafting has never left me. So here I am the owner of Rustiek, the wood shop and Rustiek at Home, home decor. I started with planter boxes because I could not find anything I liked that had some flare. I wanted shabby. I wanted chic. I wanted farmhouse. I wanted rustic, I wanted imperfections. The growth has made it possible to expand the business to include home decor and wholesale.
I have 4 wonderful children. They are supportive, and they give me so much joy and worth. They inspire me every day and are full of encouragement.

I love doing this job! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your home.
