Meet Tracey!

Behind the Name Porch Daydreamer

Hi! My name is Tracey aka Porch Daydreamer® A long-time single working mom of a football obsessed son.

I'm a multi-passionate home improvement expert and QUEEN of Painting Everything!

My superpower? Creating high-end looks for less and finding the perfect paint color.

To recharge my batteries I head into nature, dance like no one is watching, and laugh with those I love (usually with Prosecco in hand).

After 30 years of paint makeovers and an ACT (architectural coating technologist certification) not only do I know how-to paint, but the science behind it.
