ABOUT LINDA

Hello!

I am Linda the face behind Life on SUMMERHILL!

I am so excited you have come to visit Life on Summerhill! But before we dive into creativity and life I thought I would share where it all began. In 1992 I married my loving husband Marty and became an instant mom to Chrissy, Marty's then 10-year-old precious and humorous daughter. Soon after the wedding, I started design school at Florida State University graduating in 1995 and then on to Florence, Italy to study more design and art history.

I had so much creativity and energy but little money. It was the beginning of stretching dollars to decorate our small humble home.

By 2000 we had two more daughters Savanna, now wife of Jesse and mother/baby nurse, and Hannah, a graphic design college student, and moved to a much nicer home. I was in heaven, but still, money was tight, so again creativity was stretched.

Today family has grown and our house has seen many transformations. You might see everyone in the family on DIY projects or on Instagram. Hannah works on the blog doing graphic design work, we have featured Jesse and Savanna's home many times and some favorite yarn projects have ended up in Chrissy's home. She loves yarn too!

WHERE IS SUMMERHILL?

So where is SUMMERHILL–it's the house I have raised all three girls in the south, and one cat named Kit. Summer comes from the hot summer living room that has a large window facing the west and hill is because it sits on a small hill.

Here I have learned many things about life, money, relationships, crafts, decorating, organizing, hospitality and so much more. My life consists of my design business, Linda McDonald, Design, raising my daughters, fur baby, and volunteering in the community.

At Life on SUMMERHILL, I hope to bring you along on many kinds of adventures from HOME DECOR ideas, DIY projects, HOLIDAY DECOR ideas, and a tiny bit of TRAVEL where I share my love for architecture. My favorite place to hang out is Pinterest and Instagram. Feel free to come to hang out with us there.
