Hi, welcome! I’m Celeste. I offer design inspiration and ideas for people looking to renovate or decorate their own coastal cottage homes on a budget.

After solo-renovating my 1920s beach cottage in Southport, NC, I found my passion in interior decorating and now show others how to create budget-friendly, beach-inspired rooms.

Join me in creating coastal spaces with that old cottage charm!

On this site, you'll find:

  • Inspiration articles and videos to show you how to create your coastal cottage haven.

  • Design boards featuring inspiration itemsand where to buy them.

  • A collection of local home decor finds curated by Celeste and available for purchase (Coming soon - Fall 2026)

Let me show you how to make the most of your design budget and create a unique space with the items you love.
