hey, friend!
Iโm happy youโre here!
I’m Anna, an interiors and lifestyle enthusiast with a passion for creating spaces that inspire and elevate everyday living. I married my high school sweetheart and we live with our two sons and a dog in the suburbs of Chicago in a 1980s modest-sized home that we have slowly been upgrading.ย
I have been a physical therapist since 2013, but became a SAHM after my second son was born during the COVID pandemic. I started this page in September 2022 as a creative space from SAHM life. I felt a calling to have something that was my own and to share a hobby I loved. I was tired and frustrated of always seeing custom/semi-custom homes that arenโt the reality for most people. I believe in the power of thoughtful interiors to enhance both style and functionality. I aim to inspire my community to embrace design that reflects personal taste, values, and comfort.
In addition to home decor, I love exploring the intersection of lifestyle, wellness, and designโsharing everything from simple DIY projects and home organization tips to healthy living practices. With a deep commitment to showcasing authentic, real-life spaces, my content is all about making beautiful, functional living accessible to all.
“If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.”
-Dolly Parton
I plan to share everything Iโm passionate about on my blog. Youโll find DIY how-tos, style tips (home decor and fashion), my favorite finds, sale round ups, posts about family/kids, and honest reviews. It will also be a space where I document projects/updates we make to our home!
This page has brought me so much joy and fulfillment! I feel grateful to be able to do this and I hope this page gives you inspiration for your home to create spaces that you love!
As always, if there is anything youโd like to hear more about or have a dedicated post about, PLEASE let me know below!
