About Me

Madame Meg
Having left a retail management job near Boston to become a woman of leisure in my first house in the suburbs, I find myself with time to pursue a variety of interests. Here I chronicle my efforts at turning our house into a home, hand-me-down furniture into something beautiful, and keeping my husband and myself entertained and fashionable out here in the semi-wilderness.
