The story of Owl Be Bougie is one of many ups and downs, failures, struggles, and successes.

I have always had a passion for decorating, and I knew I could always get the exact look I wanted if I crafted everything myself. So, that’s what I did. I would constantly search the hobby and craft stores for the perfect colors, textures, and fragrances for where I called home. After a while I caught the attention of friends, neighbors, and family members that wanted the same custom treatments for their homes as well.

I am a proud Military Gold Star Widow. I sadly lost my late husband in 2015, but for the wonderful time we were together he had always pushed, and talked about how I should take my knack for making plain spaces beautiful and turn it into a business, but I would put it on the back burner because I (being my own worst critic) would think it wasn’t good enough or no one would like my products.

Fast forward to 2019. It had been 4 years since I moved from Ft. Benning, GA to where I am now in beautiful Clarksville, TN. I learned a lot about myself after this transition in life. I healed, watched my children heal, watched us all grow. I grieved, laughed, pushed myself to the limits, and found love again. Adam, truly saved me, brought me back to the person I was, and is my greatest supporter. Just like my late husband, Adam saw what Andrew saw and constantly would tell me to take that first step and start this business you see today. So, with much hesitation and apprehension, I started Owl Be Bougie.

Forever in our Hearts
