Here is my never ending and always added to list of Stuff I Bought For My 100 Year Old House. Lots of things are “this is the temp solution while I figure out what I want / can afford the real thing”. Because sometimes, home building is building steps along the way! …Sometimes literally!

Our household goods focus on sustainability, longevity and the health of everyone around us (including our pets). In the long run, you'll find that these products save you time, money and energy (by not having to run around and buy new filters, new accessories or new something-or-others every month, year or couple of years). My partner and I prioritize our health, and we focus on having easy-to-use tools/household goods. She and I both have ADHD, which means - WE NEED PRACTICALITY, something easy, fun, and sustainable. I have gained back so much of my time (and money) investing in good quality household goods, that I'm able to pursue other creative projects, tasks and ventures.

How to recreate it:
Combine at least three natural textures: wicker or rattan furniture, chunky knit throws, linen or cotton pillows, jute rugs, seagrass baskets.
Mistake to avoid:
Don’t overdo the “beach signs” or cutesy word art (“Life’s a Beach”). One is enough; or skip it altogether if your larger pieces tell the story.
Go the extra mile:
Swap out seasonal pieces. In summer, add coastal botanicals (like palm leaf prints); in winter, switch to cozy knits in sand and cream. The coastal vibe stays, but the mood shifts with the season — like a true year-round retreat.
