Serving up insults, smiles and new styles with upcycled and one-of-a-kind creations!

I finally gave myself permission to be an artist.  It's the prop master in me, back from my theatre days in college.  This drama queen can't stop thinking about paper and prints, textures and fabrics, antiquing wax, glitters and glue.  I'm also a bit of a storyteller, one helluva hostess and all around funny lady.  I love clever wordy banter, a good British accent, a decadent dinner party and an occasional dick joke.

I finally gave myself permission to be an artist—and then things got weird (in the best way). Born from my theater days, my obsession with props and texture, and a serious addiction to thrift store treasure hunting, Nattyology is what happens when creativity refuses to be quiet.

Everything here starts as something forgotten: a dusty dish, a sad little chair, an awkwardly shaped glass jar. Then I upcycle, embellish, reimagine, and occasionally insult it into fabulousness. Think antique dishes that throw shade. Ashtrays that make you snort-laugh. Furniture that looks like it belongs in your eccentric great aunt’s house—but cooler.

This is part blog, part gallery, part accidental therapy session. A place where my love of glitter, glue, paper, collage, wordplay, and British sarcasm lives out loud. I’m a storyteller, a maximalist hostess, and the kind of person who believes every piece has a personality—and probably a dirty secret.

Come for the Mean Dishes. Stay for the daydreams and dick jokes.
