So how did we get here?
Jami started Cheap Thrills Decor in 2000
when a shopping fetish turned into a crazy business idea. “Let’s
find the coolest, funkiest wares,” she said, “and
decorate the whole house with them, invite a few friends to browse,
sip a glass of vino, and have some fun.” (Bob
aside: with 4 kids, who wouldn’t be thinking wine and fun??)
So starts a business buzz, because the first shoppers were so
intrigued by the great finds that they told a few friends, and
they told a few friends, and so on and so forth, until a few years
later somebody called the police! This was getting out of hand,
or so the neighbors thought.
Enter Bob, a former lead singer for the rock band SLUR…who??? (Jami aside: “picture jet black hair, two
earrings, a nose ring, giant tattoo, and black eyeliner!) Basically,
we meet, fall in love, enjoy 3 months of seclusion, then emerge
with an inspired
design philosophy. It’s a great story involving Christmas
toys if you ever want to hear the whole thing!
At this point, Jami says that I (Bob) am not explaining how I
could possibly be qualified to be in any kind of design or home
décor business. So I will tell you now… I worked for
15 years as a carpenter in order to support my music career. I
got a degree in Electrical Engineering Tech from Purdue University.
(Yes, a degree and still the rock thing… another story, my
poor parents.) Somehow it all adds up?
So back to Cheap Thrills, Jami and Bob combined talents in 2004
(like wonder twin powers) and become the design and remodel team
that we are today. We operate out of a 10,000 square foot warehouse
in Keller, Texas that offers the same fun trinkets that Jami offered
in her home only on a larger scale. Jami is the creative power
house always striving for the ultimate in uniqueness for each new
adventure (this is our AKA for a new client or project) and Bob
finds inventive ways to make it all happen. Seriously, we take
an innovative, artistic slant toward our projects that lead to
one-of-a-kind results. Click here to schedule
