hello!
small home living, motherhood, minimalism, & sustainable style
Welcome! I’m so glad to have you here!
A Rose in Style was born out of a love of feeling good. I have always had a love of a clean and comfortable home, obsessed with everything that makes me feel great.
When I became a mother over four years ago, my interests and self-care was put on the back burner. I quickly realized how deeply feeling good matters to me. When I feel good on the outside in my body and my home, I can pretty much always count on feeling better on the inside!
Now, I am a mother to two daughters, and I am in my groove. I feel deeply that the most important thing is to detach from what we “know” (or are told we should know) and get to the root of what we want. For me, I do not want to be a part of the massive consumerism and rat-race lifestyle that continues to be put on a pedestal. I have no desire to constantly be upgrading, buying new items, or getting a bigger and better house.
My house is small. There are four of us (and two dogs!) living in 950 square feet! But when I get a pang feeling like I need more space (as I bet we all do) – I remind myself… more space just comes with more responsibility. My life is a life learning to love less – less things, less space, less responsibility, to free up space for more fun, more experiences, and most of all… more freedom.
A Rose in Style is a combination of my love of all things simplicity, beauty, and joy, as well as my desire to help make life a little simpler for others. My goal is to make it easier for you to get back to what you love, get out of the consumerism cycle so many of us are stuck in, and really live our best lives with our families.
I hope you enjoy your visit to the site and thank you for stopping by!

get to know me
These are a few of my favorite things…
- A beautiful space. There is not much I love more than being cozy and comfortable at home.
- Sunshine. The summer is my favorite season and when the sun is shining, I am in a good mood!
- Good food. There’s something so peaceful and fulfilling about cooking up a good meal and enjoying it around the table with family.
- The beach. Ever since I can remember, I always feel most at home when I am by the beach. The casual and relaxed vibe, the salty air, and the joy of the people in a beach town are so comforting to me. A dream of mine has always been to live at the beach (even for just a few months of the year!)
