Small Furnish, also known as Furniture for Small Spaces, was founded in April 2005 by Tameka Norris. It was built to offer small home owners a compilation of space saving furniture and decorating advice on one site versus hundreds. The site is work-in-progress that aims to meet the growing demand for modular and compact furniture that fit in small spaces.
Tameka is a highly creative and a highly sensitive person. She splits her time between work and family, enjoying freedom from the 9 to 5 work-world and the financial constraints that come with it. During her youth she would’ve been voted “least likely to succeed” due to her peculiar nature, inability to hold down a stable job, anti-social behavior and occasional bouts of depression. Fifteen years later and the exact opposite is true.
Besides working on Small Furnish, her goals are to run a hobby farm, be a missionary, get to Heaven and make God proud along the way. In between all that she may or may not want to write novels, produce movies, get married and adopt children.
Deanna has always had a way with words, often being repeatedly told in grade school to stop talking and get to work. She has also had a long time love for the written word, reading many books with subjects from psychology to horror, a multitude of magazines and countless blogs.
She can be seen hovered over books written by well known published authors, while gripping a giant cup of coffee and always keeping an eye out for spelling errors.
Currently juggling numbers as a victim of the corporate world, she has decided to put her command of the English language to good use and is building the launch pad for her dream to write full time. Finally understanding why she needed to take those dreaded English and Literature classes in school.
Rosa has a passion for living life to its fullest and a drive for perfection. She just refuses to give up! She is known as “the girl who will figure it out” and if something can be done, you can count on Rosa to lead the way.
Having such a drive for perfection can leave one spent so Rosa likes to zone out at the end of the day. Zoning out for Rosa consists of snuggling up with her iPhone, attacking a Sudoku puzzle, reading a detective novel or just reclining with her precious Xbox 360.
Besides being a freelancer (gig chaser), Rosa is an inspiring blogger and a social media enthusiast. She loves everything 80’s, even that light blue Members Only jacket she refuses to give away.
Shelia is known for her precision. She’s so good at being exact that sometimes it’s hard for her to accept when others aren’t. So, for emotional release, she spends her time fighting word-crime: fixing bad sentences here, punctuation and grammar problems there. But mainly she’s really good at shooting through a data entry project faster than a cop can take down a criminal.
In her spare time she gets the bad guys alongside Vincent D’Onofrio in Law and Order: Criminal Intent and William Petersen in CSI. (Gotta love syndication). When she gets tired of being a rent-a-cop she enjoys going out around town and spending time with her family. On a solitary day she tackles word games, the Bible and challenges herself with a good mind-boggling puzzle.
Pooja, also known to her friends as Mishka, is a die hard animal lover and ready to die harder if a single canine, feline, bovine or anything non-human is hurt. A rebel by nature she can be expected to be right in the middle of anything socially eyebrow-raising. The art of ignoring something and looking the other way doesn’t come easily to her and tact and diplomacy are wasted on her.
You can always count on her to walk on the path less trodden , and very often she will be heading in the direction opposite to the one pursued by the general masses. Be it her stand on marriage, children, or a full time job in an MNC, her opinions are different, distinct, and quite often scandalous.
As far as she can remember, she always had a pen in her hand. She was probably born holding one. From writing letters she’s graduated to writing content and articles for websites, though even today, in the age of e-mails, she sits with her ink pen and paper and writes to her close friends.
Some day she hopes to be a published author of short stories and prove that a pen is indeed mightier than a six figure income with perks and benefits! Amen to that.
