10 Things To Know About Vagabond Ruth
#1
I do this because I love it. The home design aspect of my business started by a friend asking me to “come do that thing where you move everything around, make it look pretty , and then tell me what to buy”. Then another friend asked for help. Then another. I am a home stylist- not an interior designer. I pick out furnishings and items for the room but do not draw up plans for contractors.
#2
I aim to make every home I work in a reflection of the people that live there. Who they are, their interests, how they live, their story. No two homes end up looking the same because no two people are the same.
#3
I am an artist. I wake up early and paint almost every day. I ”paint“ also with plants and make wild, wonderful succulent arrangements. Rooms are another canvas for me and my medium is furniture, rugs, lighting, pillows. In each of these I aim to create something beautiful.
#4
I love to help. I consider it an honor to be invited into someone’s home to help and do not take this honor lightly. I have deep gratitude for my many repeat clients and always aim to have another job for us to do together.
#5
I like to work quickly to stay in creative flow. Also, I not like to waste time or resources. We are busy people and have things to do! I try to work at a pace my clients are comfortable with while still keeping the project going.
#6
This is very important to me. I am committed to doing work that is authentic, creative, and beautiful. Please let me know if there is any way you are dissatisfied or if there is something I can do to fix or make something better.
I will do everything I can to make it right.
#7
I love “high and low”. Meaning, I can go to the fancy stores to find pretty things but I also have a knack for finding diamonds in the rough. My own home is a treasure trove of items found at stores, flea markets, garage sales and perhaps on the street in
San Francisco. There is beauty and interest in a little patina.
#8
I am authentic. The whole Vagabond Ruth spirit is me. My house is a space created to be shared with kids, dogs, friends, and family. I love art, travel, music, friends and fun.
I am Vagabond.
My grandmother, Ruth, was about family, food, and simply made everything beautiful and feel like home. Vagabond Ruth.
#9
I tell you this as your friend. I am working with you because I like you. I aim to be honest, direct and kind. If I recommend something its because I think it will help you. I would not put something in your home I would not put in mine. Know that this is the heart with which I approach our work together
#10
I may not be for you. Or maybe I am. Both are ok. Vagabond Ruth is for you if are seeking to refresh your home through design, plants or artwork. I aim in my designs- whatever medium- to create something beautiful,
