About Us

Hi, I'm Ashley!

I'm the maker, sander, painter, shipper, and occasional paint-spiller behind Willow's Home Decor. I run the whole thing from our home in Buckley, WA, just down the road from Mount Rainier, with three dogs who are very sure they're helping.

The kid who colored inside the lines

I've been a maker since I was little. I was the kid who outlined the coloring book pictures before coloring them in. When I wasn't running around the sand dunes behind our house, I was drawing animals out of library books. I didn't think of art as a career until my 30s. I had a whole other career before this one, but I was always crafting something on the side for friends and family. Eventually I figured that might be a sign. So I took a leap of faith, and I'm still pinching myself that people want to buy what I make and come craft with me.

What I do now

I laser-cut wood blanks, signs, shelf sitters, and ornaments that arrive ready to paint. No prep, no sanding, no stress. I also host Craft & Sip paint parties around the area. Think girls' night out, but you go home with something cute. And every Wednesday I go live on Facebook to paint along with you, mistakes and all. (There are always mistakes.)

Why I do it

I want to help people believe they can create something beautiful. So many people tell me, "Oh, I'm not crafty." I promise you are. You just need the right blank, a little encouragement, and permission to have fun with it.

Meet Willow, Wilson & Sierra

The shop is named after my sweet girl Willow. She and her siblings, Wilson and Sierra, are my best pals and my self-appointed quality control team. They follow me around the workshop all day and inspire most of my dog signs. They're also why I keep working hard: these three have very expensive taste in treats.
