Tasha was born and raised in Des Moines and is an Iowa State alum (Go Cyclones). She lives in West Des Moines where her daughter attends school at Brookview Elementary and where she also enjoys the role of Homeroom Mom.  In her free time, Tasha enjoys being with her family and friends, is an active member at Lutheran Church of Hope, loves to cook, and when the weather is nice, go for runs around Grays Lake. 

 “The thing about Des Moines that I love the most is the true sense of community.  You can’t go anywhere without seeing a familiar face, and there is always something fun to do.  That is why I am so proud to be a part of some of our community’s most popular events each spring.”

Design Tip: Let your home tell your story.  Keep interesting pieces throughout your living space that begin conversations on places you have traveled or things that bring joy to your life.  Do you love to paint?  Display some of your artwork.  Enjoy traveling?  Hang up some framed maps of the places you have gone.  Have a passion for cooking?  Find a creative way to display your home grown herbs.  Doing these things will truly turn your house into a home.

Design Tip: Keep things simple! When choosing a couch, choose a neutral color. A great way to change the look is add different throw pillows for each season or a new area rug. Instead of painting a room a bold color that you might tire of, do a feature wall instead!
