We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Janie Miller a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Janie, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?

I’ve always seen the world through pink lenses and loved being surrounded by beauty whether is was a lilac bush at my grandmas house or the pink tea cup and saucer she would give me tea in after school. So I started collecting China and beautiful candle stick holders from my grandmas and aunt homes. My auntie would take me to garage sales. My parents told me I was a horder . I would steal flowers from neighbors yards to make beautiful arrangements in my dad’s empty beer bottles I was a weird kid! After my three kids were grown and perusing there dreams I decided to start decorating events for my friends with my China , vintage goblets and linens.
My first big event was 180 people my daughters wedding it was magical and that’s when Janie miller events was created. I decided to get my license in event planning and interior design and I just keep growing my business and collecting I have over 10,000 pieces now.

Janie, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Janie and I have an amazing husband and three amazing kids and one magical grandbaby my bichon marsh is my best friend. I live in Truckee, California .

I have creative compulsive disorder self diagnosed but clearly obvious .

I love to surround myself with beautiful, romantic things ( or junk my husband calls it) so I’ve been collecting China, vintage goblets , beautiful linens, and much more for years. I’ve always decorated friends and families party’s and when my daughter got engaged i was so excited to make her wedding magical . It was 180 people and it was so fun and gorgeous and it was basically an eco friendly party we had about one bag or trash !

That’s when I decided to start my business Janie miller events I got my license in event planning and interior design and I’ve been growing every year.

I’m still collecting gorgeous China I’m up to over 10,000 pieces and my newest addition to my company is farm tables and chiavari chairs .

Here’s to happy decorating eco friendly style.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being creative is to listen to what people want for their event and I can turn it into a reality.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

I would love to help create a magical wedding for a couple pro bono and get all the venders to do so as well , down too have a designer wedding gown donated it would make the best gift and make a dream come true for a lucky couple !
