I was so sure I knew who I wanted to help

When I started all of this, I was so sure I knew who I wanted to help. I wanted to help everybody have better homes. That was my dream - just make better homes. While it was an honourable dream, I quickly realised it wasn’t a very sustainable one.

As I went on and started to grow in my business & developed my design style, I started feeling the pressure, the overwhelm, the ups & downs of it all. And when then the pandemic happened last year, I felt even more overwhelmed. On top of everything else! I started thinking I cannot be the only one feeling this way. After a bit of reflection and research, I quickly realised who were the people I wanted to help, but also, really needed my help the most.

So, to all the incredible, creative, intuitive, kickass women who are self-employed or run a small online business/brick & mortar shop, this is for you. To all the busy mums who are juggling way too many things at once, this is for you. To all the single ladies (yes, I went there), that are on their own, making sense of this life, this is for you! I am here for you!

I am here to help you start your days better. I am here to relieve you of that (often unconscious) stress that you feel when looking at your home and wishing you were somewhere else.

I am here to help you transform your interiors into homes that represent you and your personality so that when you wake up every day and you see your home, you feel excited, overjoyed, and thrilled to be living in your space.

Here is the truth. You don’t have to spend a fortune to transform your home. It’s ok to make small changes if that is all you need. It doesn’t always have to be a huge transformation. It can be a tiny one just as well. If it’s serving you, it doesn’t matter how big or small the change is.

I could talk for hours about why it’s so important to change your surroundings so that it reflects YOU! But…I’ll talk about that another time (soon) because I am not here to sell you anything. I just want you to know that I am genuinely on your side!

I’ve been, and still am in the trenches with you. I get the frustration, the desire, the dreams of a better home. We are all on a personal journey, but that doesn’t mean we have to go at it alone. It's not another thing we have to do alone. If you ever need to talk, especially about interiors, please know I am just a DM away on IG (@detailmovement) or via email here. 👋

I am here for you!

It has taken me a while, but I believe the time has come for me to restart this little old blog, to have space that is not algorithm-imposed or that has 2200 max characters (IG I am looking at you) where I can share my knowledge, experience, and inspiration with all of you. You deserve better! I deserve better. Plus, you never know who might see this blog and be of help.

Until next time, don’t forget to explore your creativity!
