Hi, I’m Deborah!!

The face behind the lifestyle blog is filled with simple living, delicious from-scratch recipes, do-it-yourself inspiration, and home decorating and design!

I began sharing my easy DIY projects, one-of-a-kind home renovations, and simple family recipes in 2017. During this same time I also co-founded the amazing online shop and design firm, Vintage Society Co. After almost five amazing years of bringing all of you the most beautiful curated items from all over the world, we decided to close our doors. So I have jumped back into the blog with both feet!

When I was a little girl, I spend much of my time on the farm in my grandmother’s kitchen, cooking and baking our favorite recipes or thrifting with my grandpa at the local auction mart or yard sale. My mother was a lover of gardening, nature, and a very simple way of life, all of which truly helped form me into the girl I am today.

At 12 years old, I was confirmed at the church just down the street from the most beautiful house in our small town, a 100-year-old Victorian that look like it was a castle in the eyes of a young girl! I remember standing and thinking that one day I would own that house…. fast forward 25 years and now I live here! 10 years ago, we took the plunge and bought the beautiful fixer-upper with a budget of only $25K for renovations! The home needed SO much updating so, which meant it was time to roll up the sleeves and get to work!

After endless hours of renovations and DIY projects, I turned my love for our home and simple living into this lifestyle blog with my delicious family recipes, easy one of kind DIY projects, home renovation, and decor.

Over the years I have been recognized by Better Homes and Gardens, Martha Stewart, Apartment Therapy, and The Spruce. I have been featured in Farmhouse Magazine, Cottage and Bungalows, and Farmhouse Kitchen Magazine and partnered with amazing brands such as Wayfair, Samsung, Crate & Barrel, Safeway, Canadian Tire, Brooklinen, Chapters/Indigo, Cabela’s and so many more.

If you were to walk into my home today, you would see a determined, creative, messy hair bun girl tackling all of the projects with a latte and paintbrush in hand! My goal in this lifestyle blog is to help you create a home and lifestyle that you can genuinely say, you LOVE! From home decor tips, my favorite fashion, easy family favorite recipes, gardening tips, and home decor inspiration, I want to SHARE it with all of you! Connect with me over on Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, YouTube, and Pinterest and you can join my weekly letters to receive my best tips, shop my favorite things, and try my yummy recipes every week! I promise it’s where I share all my best info!
