Our Story

After moving to my 1940s beach bungalow on Florida Gulf Coast, I found myself captivated by the charm of older homes and the endless possibilities for making them shine. I believe that no matter the size, any home can be elevated with thoughtful design, creative DIY projects, and a little unique touch. With a mix of high-quality pieces and accessible finds, I’ve transformed my small space into an eclectic, inviting reflection of my style—and now I’m here to help you do the same. Whether you’re tackling a full room makeover or just adding personal touches to a corner of your home, I’m excited to offer tips, ideas, and encouragement to bring your vision to life.
