No tearing things out, no kitchen renovation budge No tearing things out, no kitchen renovation budget, no new appliances, no stripping the character, and NO AMAZON!

In 2025, I went a whole year without making a single purchase from Amazon to see if I could create my dream home without it. What I learned was, Amazon is actually the problem 🤣

Everyone says homes are losing character and interior design is starting to all look the same. It’s because we’re all buying the same 50 different pieces of decor from Amazon and those pieces on Amazon are just copying the other 50 pieces of decor from Target 🤣

The unsung heroes of a home filled with character and coziness are the antique stores and secondhand shops down the road from you. You don’t need a crazy budget or the next trending influencer piece, you need to spend a little time digging through thrift stores and scrolling through Facebook marketplace. 

Let my home be the proof that shopping secondhand is the better way!

Also peep how the previous owners had the coolest things too 😩😩
