Restoring a Vintage Built-In

ByColleen Philpot September 13, 2022April 27, 2023

With no money in my pocket and no time for any big projects, I visited my favorite junk haunt a few weeks ago. I did a loop through the warehouse and through the main store, and all I found was a neat vintage three-dimensional postcard of sponges native to Florida for $2. It was only…

The BC Condo Reveal

ByColleen Philpot June 15, 2022June 4, 2023

Our first big renovation project is in the books, and the BC Condo looks incredible. If you remember, back in March, we undertook the giant task of renovating my husband’s townhouse. Built in 1984, it was extremely dated. To sell it, we knew we needed to renovate to give it some modern touches. Our main…

ByColleen Philpot April 14, 2022June 4, 2023

We’re moving along at the BC Condo project! We’ve finally crossed a threshold of sorts, where we’re starting to see our efforts result in beauty and transformation. It’s so exciting! I wanted to share with you our mood board for the project as well as our source list. Before The bathrooms were stereotypical 1980s, with…

Another Renovation: The BC Condo

ByColleen Philpot April 5, 2022June 4, 2023

Last month, I shared that we purchased a sweet little lakeside cottage to renovate in our neighborhood. We knew going into it that it would be a few months before we got started because our first order of business is renovating the condo my husband owned before we got together. Before Colleen (BC), my husband…

Kitchen Renovation: An Update

ByColleen Philpot February 24, 2022October 17, 2022

Four years ago, we started the very slow process of renovating our kitchen. At the time, we painted our wooden cabinets white and removed the doors off the upper cabinets. We didn’t think it was wise to do anything else until we had our plumbing updated, which didn’t happen for almost another two years. A…

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!
