jessplease.com started in September 2010 as an outlet for me, Jess Kroez, to share home decor projects. This blog is where I will document the transformation of my home. Right now it feels like the place where we keep all our stuff but over the next while I hope to transform it into a beautiful and functional home. Where everything has a place and also looks great.

I live in the High Park neighbourhood of Toronto in a second floor rental apartment with my boyfriend Dana and two cats Ghost Dad and Big Tuna. While I don’t have any formal training as an interior designer, I do have a GoogleReader full of home decor blogs, subscriptions to too many magazines, an addiction to HGTV and what I’ve been told is a strong eye for what looks good.

When I’m not sitting in my livingroom pondering how to fill blank walls on a budget I work at my day job, designing websites for a kids television broadcaster. I’m into crafts: knittting, jewelery making, card making and sewing. I also like reading, entertaining and consuming television shows like they’re going out of style.

The most important thing you could know about me is that the Internet is the love of my life.
