Faye Perez - Founder & Designer

As a kid, I was dead set on becoming an interior decorator. My first room makeover was my own and featured pink walls, pink shag carpet, and a satin pink and purple bedspread. That room was my hideaway from the world and became one of the few places I felt free to express myself. Eventually though, like many kids, I felt the pressure to grow up and rid myself of all things "childish"-including my dreams and that diva-licious shag carpet. But life has a way of getting you back on track, As a young adult, I spent more time in hospitals than at home, watching HGTV re-runs every hour of the day. And let me tell you, it enraged me that I was stuck staring at the same four, white walls of a hospital room while the people on t.v tore out every inch of personality from their homes in exchange for their own boring white walls. I vowed that when I got out and got my own place, I would never settle for a boring space ever again. I ended up keeping that promise to myself, so much so that I ended up creating Faye's Hideaways. Now I extend that promise to you, the adult who has been told time and time again to "grow up, be practical, and give up on your dreams." You don't have to settle for a boring space. You deserve a space that reflects you, not the person everyone thinks you should be.
