Introducing the fabulous and talented..Hanne (pronounced Hannah) Damish

I love the word serendipity and that word is how I’d describe meeting Hanne years ago. Such destiny that two women only blocks away would become such great friends and have so much in common… Hanne’s house is on my running route (ok..very slow jogging route) . I figured I should introduce myself because I was afraid that the homeowners thought I was stalking. You see, Hanne is an accomplished gardener. She has worked commercially as a container gardener and also a residential gardener. As I jogged by, I would stop and look and take every thing in (sometimes stopping for long periods of time) .Hanne's window boxes are works of art. Several years ago we met and became friends. Eventually, I asked Hanne if she would ever be interested in styling and she said yes... and thus became our illustrious friendship and career together. We travel quite a bit , we’ve had really long road trips and talk about so many things. One discussion that kept coming up was Hanne’s kitchen. She lives in a beautiful Cape, however she felt the rooms, especially the kitchen were too small. The adjoining living room was hardly ever used .So she planned and we discussed and she drew out plans for her new expanded kitchen. Hanne is a do it yourself person…She paints, she moves, she’ll do anything(almost anything)….. So the kitchen evolved. She hired John Piccarilli an amazing local Walpole carpenter to take down the wall, add bead board and fix a gap between two different level hardwood floors. Hanne took down cabinet doors, painted Formica, painted walls and trim , rearranged furniture. added new lighting and a small island.. How serendipitious.
