Some of you know, but many of you don’t - I’ve closed my storefront.
A lot of people have been asking “why?” and “how do you feel about it?” I didn’t really know how to answer until now.
There are a lot of reasons why. The biggest one, though, is that I finally decided to face the fact that I don’t want a career that keeps me tied down to one place. I’ve always been passionate about traveling. It fuels me. Having a storefront doesn’t fit the life I want to live.
So how do I feel about it? Not great.
I had this dream in my head for so long, and I wanted to do so much more with that space. Now it’s empty. That’s a hard pill to swallow.
Home Curated was never just about selling things. I built it because I wanted the idea of home to feel attainable for anyone.
Growing up, “home” changed constantly. One day it was an apartment, the next it was my grandmother’s living room floor. We moved constantly. Nowhere felt like home.
That didn’t change until I got older and could create my own home.
The feeling of walking into a space that’s yours is… different. It’s safe. It’s cozy. It screams your personality. It welcomes friends and family. It shelters you during some of the hardest times in your life. Never take it for granted.
Because of that, I’ll be focusing on design. I want people to cherish their homes, and I want to help make that possible for anyone who wants it. No budget is too small. If you have an idea, I will bring it to life - whether that’s mood boards, mockups, decor shopping lists, or styling your space so it feels beautiful and intentional.
Before I end this post, I want to say one more thing.
Get out of your head and get into your community.
Volunteer. Give back. Be kind.
There’s enough negativity in the world. We need more kindness and compassion. Helping others is one of the most fulfilling things. It melts away the nonsense and fosters connections that really matter.
If you take away anything from this post, let it be this: put good back into this world.
We need more of it.
