Dukes and Duchesses

Dallas Fort Worth Creative Lifestyle Blogger

About Dukes and Duchesses

dukes and duchesses profile photo
Welcome!  I’m Randi Dukes {the Dukes behind Dukes and Duchesses}, founder and creator of Dukes and Duchesses, a lifestyle website that’s all about adding a creative element to everyday life.  Whether that creativity is crafting, cooking, building, upcycling, or decorating, I believe the everyday moments are made better with a bit of glitter or vinyl added {wink}.  My mission is to inspire, teach, and encourage you to live colorfully and creatively!

step 1
Get To Know Me

Let me share a little sneak peek into my life.  I’m the mother of five kids, from elementary school all the way up to college, and being their mom is my greatest joy.  I got divorced in 2017 after twenty-two years of marriage.  It was something that I never thought I would go through but I also couldn’t have imagined the things that occurred in my marriage.  I’m now finding my way on this unexpected but happier path.  In addition to my kids, I love the color orange, strong coffee, long lists, my planner, colorful pens, thrift stores, and vintage treasures.  I’ve loved Martha Stewart since I was a child, I thrive on routine and organization {hence the lists and planner}, I love Jesus and am very involved in my church, and I’m an introvert who can fake extroversion as needed.  I’m also a REALTOR® in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and love using my creative side to help people find or create their dream home.

step 2

step 4
Get to Know Me as an Influencer

I love working with brands and companies to create evergreen content that showcases your product, service, or awesome feature in a new and creative way!  I’ve had the opportunity to work with brands like Ford, JoAnn Stores, Cricut, World Market, Calloway’s, Lowe’s, Home Depot, and more, and I’d love to chat with you about collaborating.  For more details, click over to the collaboration page or email me at randi@dukesandduchesses.
