About

Welcome to Studio 27 by Jennifer Adams 
A design blog for everyday people who enjoy making daily life as beautiful as possible!




I'm Jennifer, a lady living in Central Illinois (the Mid Western part of the United States) who enjoys crafting, design and making things pretty.  Read on to learn more about how I got started, what you can find here at the studio, my personal goals for the brand as well as my personal work and educational histories:




How I Got Started

While pursuing (and completing) an advanced degree in psychology, I took a part time job as a floral clerk and over the course of 13 years a few things happened;

-I loved my degree field and enjoyed my coursework, but found myself turned off at the thought of being a counselor for the rest of my life.

-I loved working creatively in the floral shop setting, but resented the lack of personal freedom found in a chain retail setting.

-I became a mom and absolutely didn't want to work full time, so stayed on as a part time clerk years longer than I originally intended to.

-And Eventually, I became frustrated with working retail in general.

I was burned out, unhappy and wanted nothing more than to be home with my daughter full time.  Thankfully, I have an awesome husband (who has always pushed me towards happiness) and he encouraged me to quit my part time job ❤  I knew that I wanted to somehow blend being a stay-at-home-mom with my passion for creativity and design, and began creating floral wedding packages to sell on Ebay.

That was fun, but I also wanted to share all of the creative things I was doing around the house, so I started my first blog: Jennifer Adams Flowers.  With the success of the first blog and an Ebay storefront under my belt, I began branching out in other areas of design and opened up an Etsy shop as well.  Eventually, I began to feel that my old brand 'Jennifer Adams Flowers' was too limiting and relaunched under the current brand; Studio 27 by Jennifer Adams.





What You Can Find Here

Here at the Studio I like to share my love for home decor, holidays, party planning, baking, blogging, treasure hunting, thrifting and all things crafty.  I also give updates from time to time when I add new products to Etsy shop.





Goals of the Brand

When it comes my personal goals for the brand, I work to be helpful and financially savvy.  That means that I like to publish a whole lot of how-to posts that are inexpensive to recreate 😉  while also striving
to be transparent in my writing and business practices.  Instead of keeping everything under wraps I try to share as much helpful information as possible.  For example, in an affiliate link post, I'll earn commision if the link is used for an online purchase.  But if I believe that you will have better luck actually going into the store yourself, I'm going to tell you so!

I will also note that an affiliate link is present, or if the post you are reading happens to be a sponsored post - one that I was paid to write.  (I could pretend that this part is just my awesomely personable business sense, but it's actually the law 😎)
