Feeling like I can breathe again.

Starting over after living in a 20+ year abusive marriage feels like stepping into the unknown. But as I begin this new chapter of my life as a single mom, I've found a way to turn a difficult experience into something positive: starting a home decorating blog. This space will not only be a journey of transforming my living space but also a way to heal, rebuild, and rediscover joy in the everyday.

For years, I felt like I had no control over my surroundings. In fact, the chaos that I felt in that marriage always seemed to express itself outwardly in the home-- often in the form of clutter, dust, and general un-tidyness. And even though it's only been a couple of months since I signed the papers, I’m already creating a home that reflects who I am, who I want to be, and the peace I’m working to find. With each DIY project, room makeover, and design choice, I’m reclaiming pieces of myself I thought I had lost.

Through this blog, I hope to inspire others who may be going through their own struggles. Whether it’s transforming a room, finding new ways to embrace life, or simply starting fresh, I believe healing can come in many forms—even through the power of a well-curated space.

This blog is not just about decorating a home; it’s about rebuilding a life and creating a safe, beautiful space where peace can grow. Thank you for joining me on this healing journey. I hope you'll find comfort and inspiration along the way.
