About MJ’s Journey to Mastering the Art of Joie de Vivre
Hello, Hola, Bonjour!
I am MARYJO, a vintage soul, who’s married to my honey, aka Mr. M., who made all my dreams come true. He made me a wife, he made me a mother and he makes me laugh each & every day. My life revolves around my family & my home and on this blog I share all the pieces of this wonderful life. I love all things that are weathered, tattered, tarnished, rusted, faded, shabby, & distressed because they have a story to tell. Here- I tell my story, which includes my love for home decor, gardening, entertaining, cooking, traveling, crafting and anything that makes life pretty, fun & interesting.
Welcome & thanks for visiting XO

The Masterpieces home resides in Northern California on the East Bay of San Fransisco. Nestled on the westside of a quaint little suburban town, this California rancher was built in 1964.
This is the home for all the home improvement projects, gardening tasks, home decor designs, gatherings, DIYs and much, much more that we love to share here. It’s all about…
The Masterpiece family found their happily ever after home in 2007 where MaryJo and husband Matt with Sebastian and Lexi have made many, Many, MANY memories. Mocha {RIP}, chocolate Labrador Retriever, Bailey {RIP}, yellow Lab and Misty, silver Lab have also been along for the ride.
Join us as we master the art of joie de vivre…
