The Women Behind Half Past Seven
Jen Burch and Margaret Dillard met through work, but quickly realized the job was not going to be the only thing the two had in common. Both had two preschool-aged boys, their husbands were in the same industry, both were first born, and too often joined a Zoom call in the same outfit. But it was the love for decor and the thrill of the unending treasure hunt to make their houses homes that ultimately brought these two together.
After years of "so where’d you get that piece?," and "how’d it go with your guests this weekend?," Jen and Margaret realized their shared obsession with all things home and hosting was something they should officially explore together. What they also realized was that not everyone is eager to host guests, spend hours searching for “that piece,” or trust their gut with decorating their homes. And it’s no wonder, with the overwhelming amount of choices and information today.

We believe that when you feel confident and comfortable in your home, welcoming friends and family to enjoy it with you is a natural effect.
