Using Unexpected Finds in Decor

ByColleen Philpot December 13, 2023December 13, 2023

I love a good collection. Usually while I’m collecting, I have a distinct idea of where my burgeoning collection will go in our home. But when Rob started collecting fun vintage wood levels earlier this fall, I was especially stumped on how to use them. I already had two red levels hanging above my sink…

Butcher Block Countertops: One Year Later

ByColleen Philpot November 14, 2023November 14, 2023

As we’re getting ready for Thanksgiving, one of our tasks the past week has been to deep clean our kitchen to prepare for the onslaught of activity and gathering. On the agenda was doing a little butcher block countertop maintenance. I thought it would be fun to share a bit of a one year update…

How to Identify Vintage Art

ByColleen Philpot November 8, 2023November 8, 2023

One of the things I’ve really grown to love collecting in the past year is vintage art. Today I thought would be a great day to share some of what I’m looking for when I try to identify vintage art. I love all kinds of vintage art. From paintings to drawings and even vintage needlework,…

Adding Color with Curtains

ByColleen Philpot November 6, 2023November 6, 2023

Almost as soon as I put up the first curtains I installed in our formal living room, I wasn’t crazy about them. And this week, I finally got around to adding color with new curtains in this room. The curtains solve an immediate color problem. I’ve shared before how much I regret painting my house…

Cottage Exterior Painting Update

ByColleen Philpot October 27, 2023October 27, 2023

A few weeks ago, I shared that Rob had begun the process of painting the exterior of our cottage. Naturally, we figured that the project would take only a few days. No big deal. But, as is also usual for us, we overestimated some aspects of the job. Particularly painting the front door. But after…

Fall Cottage Kitchen Tour

ByColleen Philpot October 6, 2023October 10, 2023

It brings me such joy to craft little corners of our cottage that reflect the seasons. And our fall cottage kitchen is always one of my favorite iterations of this space. When we pulled the doors off our upper cabinets once upon a time, a big reason for that, aside from creating the illusion of…

Our sweet community showed up for Small Business S Our sweet community showed up for Small Business Saturday, and we honestly couldn’t be more thankful for your support of this little dream we have of helping others create a home they never want to leave. We love hearing that our story, our passion for home, and our little shop resonate with you all! 

While we also continue to have so many fun Christmas treasures to make this the coziest month of the year, we also have so many incredible pieces to give as gifts. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing many thoughtful, intentional gift-giving ideas that include heirloom pieces made to last.

I tell everyone who asks that our brick and mortar I tell everyone who asks that our brick and mortar shop is the result of ten years of dreaming. But really, it’s the result of a husband who loves his wife crazy big. He had listened to her share her vision for a sweet space where lovers of home could find thoughtfully curated pieces to cozy up their corners of the world. A destination for folks to be inspired to create warm, “homey” spaces. A retreat from the frenzied pace and concerns of a modern world. A reflection of our own little cottage that we had shared online for the last few years.

When the time came to take a leap and actually do the thing that had been dreamed and talked over nearly to death, he mustered courage enough for both to turn that dream into the sweetest reality. 

Maybe you see a little of yourselves in one of us. A timid dreamer. A courageous encourager. Creative. Homebody.

Because ultimately, we’re regular folks, just like you. And like so many others who have thrown open the doors to small shops, bakeries, and cafes in communities all across the country. 

This holiday season, small business owners will try to find ways to compete with big box stores. While you may save a few pennies by purchasing mass-produced, questionably-made items, when you support small businesses, you’re choosing to value curated experiences, personal touches, and the dream of regular folks looking to bring beauty into the very communities they call home.

As you make your shopping lists and check them twice, we hope that you’ll make The Southern Azalea your first stop on your hunt for one-of-a-kind gifts for all of the regular folks in your life. 

We’re so deeply thankful for every like, every share, every message, every purchase, and every kind word on this shop journey. But most of all, we’re thankful for you. 

If you’re local to Inverness, Florida, we hope to see you at our Small Business Saturday sale tomorrow!
