Welcome!

I am a girl who grew up in the smallish town of Santa Cruz, California with a father in the construction industry. This is where my passion and interest in the design aspect of the construction came from. Also, I always wondered how the owners would decorate the finish house. My most fond memories of getting to visit the job sites was running around the job sites with my father yelling at me to be careful and to watch where I was going. I would pick my favorite room in the house and wonder how it would look once someone actually live in there. Finally, I have decided after getting a degree in Marketing Management to pursue my passion for Interior Design and Architecture. (Yes, I know what you are thinking why did I get a degree in Marketing....I ask myself that every day)

The Story Behind The Name!

Zella: Was my grandmother's name but I never knew till she passed away. We always called her Marie or Grandma.  Although I was told that she hated the name but I know that she might be rolling over in her grave since I named my site after her. Not my problem.... Love you Grandma!

Grace: "Elegance or Beauty of Form, Manner, Motion or Action" is the definition. This definition is the reason I picked Grace, just to remind myself to have Elegance, or Beauty of Form, Manner, Motion or Action. 

So, I decided to combined both of them to create an elegance, charmful, beautiful, enchanting and humorous website that has to do with all things design!

Follow along and see where this takes us!
