About Ann Drake, Author & Creator of On Sutton Place

I’m Ann Drake

I’m very happy that you found me! In case you’re not sure what I’m all about, here’s the scoop. I share budget-friendly decor ideas, family recipes, my garden, free printables, and the occasional DIY project. I’m a Midwest girl from Ohio. I’m a wife, a mom of two, a grandmother of three, a daughter, and a friend. Here in Ohio, the changing seasons are a big part of everyday life, so I share seasonal inspiration as well. In 2013, I quit my day job to focus all my efforts on this website. Since then, the On Sutton Place community has grown to include 25,000 home enthusiasts, who put family first, and love making a house into a home.
