Tell us about yourself

My name is Tonya and I am a full time content creator and blogger! I started my blog back in 2010 as just a hobby and I am so grateful that my hobby turned into my full time job!

How does your experience with content creating inspire your home?

I think I’ve always been drawn to vintage pieces and mid century modern decor so through the years, I found my personal style and it reflects in my home now :)

What’s one thing in your home you can’t live without?

My dogs! I love them both so much and they make me feel at home more than anything else :)

Tell me about your home and how it inspires your daily life

I just bought my first home last year and it was something I had always dreamed of doing. It’s 101 years old and has so much charm. It means so much to me so I think it just inspires me as a daily reminder to keep pursuing my goals!

Tell me a little about your design style & philosophy

Do what feels authentic to you! There are SO many different trends and it seems to be cycling so quickly anymore. So I just say pick pieces that you truly love, regardless if they’re trendy or not.

What is your favorite thing about your Eucalypso sheets?

I love how soft they are! There’s nothing like climbing into bed after a long day and these sheets are like butter. I’m also a hot sleeper so I love that they keep me cool at night!
