Fixing a Rug Mistake

ByColleen Philpot September 22, 2023September 22, 2023

A couple weeks ago, we decided to part with our green sofa in the formal living room to make way for a more functional table and chair set for games, puzzles, and homework. But in the process of that welcome change, I made a bit of a rug mistake that I needed to fix. Actually,…

Reversing Course on the End Table Project

ByColleen Philpot September 15, 2023September 15, 2023

A few weeks ago, I shared over on my social media channels that I was looking to rework an ugly end table that I purchased off Facebook Marketplace for $10. The table was a result of my desire to find something round shaped to go in the corner next to our sectional. The room was…

The Purple Couch Story

ByColleen Philpot May 26, 2023June 4, 2023

We’ve been toying around with the idea of replacing our two love seats with a sectional for quite awhile. We’ve loved our Ikea Ektorp love seats and wanted to find the same model sectional, even though this model is discontinued. One of our love seats was a secondhand Facebook Marketplace find, and you’d never know…

The Great Sofa Debate

ByColleen Philpot September 14, 2022April 27, 2023

Our loveseats have stayed pretty full the past two weeks. Between bouts with the cold and the flu, the lounging has been intense. Each time I’ve taken a load off, I’ve been treated to feet in my face, kidneys and lap. For the first time, as I realize just how long my oldest has gotten,…

A Winter Family Room Refresh

ByColleen Philpot January 28, 2022April 27, 2023

Our house has been in a perpetual state of chaos since COVID visited in early January. Between getting everyone back up and running and starting a new semester in teaching, finding time to reset this cottage has seemed difficult at best and impossible at worst. I always feel so much better about things after I’ve…

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!
