Hello and welcome. My name is Sonya, the face behind the blog. I have been living in the South for my entire life and for the last 17 years at the NC coast.

I am a teacher by day and a home decor, homemaker and do it yourself enthusiast on the side. Some of my favorite things to do are thrifting, decorating and gardening. I have expensive taste but a small budget but that does not stop me. I love finding vintage treasures and finding new ways to use them in my home.

Some of my favorite things are coffee with french vanilla creamer, the sound of waves crashing, french bistro music, candles and Trader Joe’s flowers.

I love sharing ideas for simple projects, fun and easy recipes and inspiration for a simple, budget friendly and beautiful home. My goal is to inspire you on your homemaking journey.

Reading your comments and answering your questions brings me so much joy, so be sure to do both. Make sure you subscribe to the blog so you will always be updated with current post.

Thanks for stopping by.
Sonya

Very few pieces in my home are really permanent an Very few pieces in my home are really permanent and I used to think that was a problem. Like I was doing it wrong or needed to wait until I could get it right, 
but the truth is,  most of what I’ve done here has been temporary. Just trying things, moving things, making it work for right now
and somehow that’s what made it feel like home.

save this if you’ve been waiting for the perfect solution.

Today isn’t just about a long weekend, l’ve be Today isn’t just about a long weekend, l’ve been thinking a lot about what this day really
means. Remembering the people who gave everything and the families who live with that every day, it makes the simple things feel a little more meaningful. Being home, spending time together, just slowing down for a minute. Grateful in a quiet way today.

a project, a change, a plan,  but now  it looks more like this.. small shifts, simple moments,using what I already have and letting that be enough.

I started putting photos in a bowl instead of tuck I started putting photos in a bowl instead of tucking them away.
Not perfectly framed, not organized, just gathered together.
Little moments I didn’t want to lose.
It’s such a small thing... but it changed how my home feels.
More personal, more lived in,more like me.  Sometimes I’II flip through them or just catch a glimpse walking by and it reminds me that a home isn’t just how it looks, it’s what it holds.

save this idea for later if you’ve been wanting something simple and meaningful

Why I thrift for these things instead of buying ne Why I thrift for these things instead of buying new. It’s not about finding perfect pieces, it’s about how they feel,real wood, soft textures, pieces that aren’t all the same. It just creates a different kind of home when mixed with new pieces.

Save this for your next thrift trip.

Not because  it’s perfect, not because it’s always easy.
Because it feels more like home. Pieces that are a little worn a little different, a little more lived in.
I think that’s what I’ve been drawn to all along.
