How it all started…

From burnt-out night shift nurse to passionate home design blogger.

This blog began as a creative outlet to fuel my passion for home design while living in a tiny apartment and juggling crazy nursing hours.

Back then, it was all about budget-friendly design and inspiring others to personalize their spaces, no matter the situation. 

Fast forward a few years, and we’re now the proud owners of our first home, lovingly nicknamed The Foxhole Cottage.

Between the sweet chaos of two little ones underfoot (and one on the way!), backyard chickens, baking sourdough loaves, and life, we’re slowly turning our 1993 builder-grade home into a cozy cottage.

Here, you’ll find down-to-earth home design tips, easy DIYs, and a whole lot of real-life inspiration for creating a beautiful home, no matter your budget or skill level.
