Hi there, I’m Caitlin…

About Me

Hi there! I'm Caitlin, a Mid-West transplant making in Raleigh, North Carolina home. As an introvert and homebody, home is my refuge. Because of this, I have always been passionate about design and home decor. As a child, I paged through Better Homes and Garden magazines, designing my dream home, and then as an adult, I always found a way to style our home no matter the budget. I have one goal: to help you love your home and inspire you to transform it into a warm and welcoming retreat.

My favorite second-hand find to date 😭 I’ve b My favorite second-hand find to date 😭 I’ve been looking for an antique English Pine bed for Avah’s room. If you know anything about antique pine, then you know it’s so expensive! A pine bed can be $2-3k. I was so lucky to get this on FB marketplace for just $175! Sometimes you just have to be patient to get something that fits your style and budget. 💕 #vintage #englishcottagestyle #englishpine
