About Me

Hey new friends!! Let me introduce myself! I’m first a child of God.  I give him all the glory for blessing me and gifting me.  I’ve been married for over twenty three years to my best friend who supports me from behind the scenes. I am a mom of a pretty cool young man who is currently a sophomore in college.   I love being a “college mom”!  I’m also a dog mom to my giant schnauzer, Benson. You will see him a lot in my posts on social media.  He's a big fella so it's hard to hide him.   I’m a sister to a fun and crazy woman who you may meet from time to time when we have projects together. I will share some fun times with her on the blog and on my social media pages.
I recently closed the door to a twenty five year career of corporate finance.  I've worked in a finance/banking/mortgage world since I was nineteen years old.  In October of 2022 I made the decision to take a leap of faith and pursue my dream of owning and operating a small business.   I am learning new things daily, good and bad, but I determined to not give up.  I have so many plans for Embellish.  I have recently expanded and created my own line of home decor called "Brandi Alexander HOME".  I hope to someday have a brick and mortar with a curated and collected feeling that becomes a destination location where I can share all of my creative gifts with others.  I look to scale my online presence in the home decor and gift market in the near future.  I am excited about the future for Embellish and my HOME decor line of products.  
   
My creative genes go deep.  I inherited a strong entrepreneurial spirit from my parents.  I am 100% a daddy's girl, the daughter of an Air Force Veteran and retired postmaster.  My dad was also an entrepreneur and small Kentucky tobacco farmer.  My mother passed away from a brain illness in 2006.  She was an interior designer and really a “jack of all trades”.  I like to say I am a "designers daughter".  She continues to inspire me and although she has passed, I talk about her influence a lot.  Maybe someday I will write a book about all of that!  
I created this site for busy women like myself that love pretty things and need a nice gift to give from time to time. I also wanted to share with you my tips and tricks that I use around my home when decorating.   Oh and just a little PSA.... Christmas is my JAM!  I will be sharing lots of photos, gift ideas, DIYs and crafts during the holidays.   I also LOVE participating in vendor shows during the holidays, so if you are local to Western Kentucky area, get on my email list so that you can find out where I will be with all of my pretties to shop for holiday gifts.  
I have an amazing seasonal home and lifestyle box that will be delivered to your doorstep four times a year, Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter. ( UPDATE: my subscriptions are on pause for 2024.)   In the meantime, be sure to check out all of the Embellished Home Decor goodies on the shopping site!  
****COMING SOON**** ..... my podcast and my YouTube channel!  Be sure to find me at "The Embellished Home by Brandi" and subscribe!  AND I most recently passed my real estate exam and am looking forward to sharing with you more about buying and selling real estate!
