Welcome to The Crowned Goat where we strive to provide encouragement for your heart and home every day! I’m so glad you guys are here. I seriously can’t wait to get to know you better. Whether you’re a beginner painter, weekend DIYer, buying your first place, downsizing or just looking to give the existing spaces in your home an update we have creative ideas for a variety of skill levels.
This blog is dedicated to readers and friends that want to create a cozy, nurturing home through affordable decorating ideas, painted furniture, diy tutorials, organizing tips, craft projects, recipes, and holiday celebrations. I’m constantly inspired by a love of the South and seek to achieve its effortless Southern charm in daily life.
There’s no way I’d get half of the projects completed without the love and support of Team Crowned Goat. My bestie S runs the website and helps with everything from building to painting. This was the first time we’d ever attempted to put cabinet doors on a piece of furniture and we’re still excited about the way it all came together.
My dad built these amazing bookcases for my office as part of the One Room Challenge and my mom is hands down my favorite design partner. She helped to create my dream office and constantly inspires me. I still can’t believe we were featured on the House Beautiful website or that I get to work in this space every single day. We’ve worked on lots of different projects as a family and spent time renovating my childhood home, Loblolly Manor from floor to ceiling. It was so much fun and so much work all at the same time!
Most days you can find me covered in glitter, glue, paint, stain, sawdust or carrying around a big design notebook. I love to repaint furniture and give old things new life. We’re always on a treasure hunt and are constantly searching for unique finds for our homes and our clients homes too. Some days we don’t find anything at all. But other days we find so many goodies, like this $10 mantel we were able to make into a headboard.
We are continually working to make this house a home. I know a lot of you are working to create spaces you love in your homes too. Being able to DIY different areas of the house has given us the confidence to take on even bigger projects. I live on a tiny island in Florida and I’ll be honest, it took me a while to find my true style. I thought because I lived on an island I was supposed to have everything decorated in coastal style & shells. I tried to make it work for the longest time. But deep down, I knew my heart spoke in neutrals and craved a simple yet effortless farmhouse meets vintage charm. Since then, we’ve worked on one room at a time to embrace that signature style from the dining room…
to the laundry room.
When I’m not working on projects, I’m a steward of the land, a cottage dweller, mom to fur babies, treasure hunter, a PBS watcher, lavender lover, wild flower planter, a curly hair wrangler, jogger, hiker, brownie batter stress eater, coffee drinker, painter, crafter and wanderlust seeker. I’m a DIYer, a dreamer, a doer, a napper, baker, organizer, list maker and girl boss. Above all, I’m going to be your cheerleader as you give your best gifts to make your house a home you love.
Welcome to our adventure blogging and running The Crowned Goat where we strive to provide encouragement for your heart and home every day.
