$50 Giveaway to The Shop Beyond the Screen Door!

Who wants to win a $50 Store Credit to The Shop At Beyond the Screen Door???
This incredible store is filled with pieces that reflect the talent and creativity of it’s owner, Sonya.
We have the privilege of not only getting to promote this shop, but also of calling Sonya our friend.
Before we get to the Giveaway, we thought it would be fun if we turned the “Sponsor Spotlight” on Sonya and learned a little bit more about the person behind the shop!

What led to your decision to start your own small business?

My business evolved gradually from very part time, when my children were young, to full time now that my youngest is in high school. I would have to say it began from a continuous desire to create. 

Glitter Jingle Bells

 



 From where do you draw inspiration for your products?
Inspiration can come from anywhere at anytime. I especially love it when a chain reaction occurs and several ideas blend together to create a new design.  


Shaggy Fabric Wreath Kit
What do you feel has been your greatest accomplishment as a small business owner? 

The smile on a client’s face when they see their new window treatments, or new pillows, or new bedding…whatever the project may be…is my greatest – ever evolving – accomplishment. 


Metal Card Wheel


What is one of the challenges you face as a small business owner?
On the days I work from home, one of the biggest challenges is balancing house & home with work. I can easily ignore the dishes and the laundry when I have a client project to finish. Probably a bit too easily! But summers are more difficult when I’d rather be doing something with my family. 

Multi-Black, Tan & Taupe Table Runner


What advice would you give to someone interested in starting their own business?
If possible, do something you’re passionate about. Something you love. Then it’s never a job or a chore. It’s a love. 

Bed and Breakfast Plaque
Thank you so much Sonya for sharing with us your passion for your shop and all that goes into making it successful!
Right now, you can also get 20% off when you purchase two or more items using coupon code FALL20 so don’t miss out on this fantastic sale!

    Hi,
    I’ve checked out “The Shop Beyond the Screen Door” and WoW! so many great things! It’s hard to choose when I want one of everything. Buuuuut, since I can’t have one of everything, I would like either the “Burlap/Scrim Tree Skirt” or the “Lissa Pillow Cover”.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Oh I love her shop! The coffee sack and table topper are favs and also the glittery crown Christmas ornaments. And the card display wheel. And the script ribbon. Oh so many fun things!

Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful s Happy Friday! I’m oh so thankful for beautiful sunshine especially when our family has been hit by illness this week. Everyone is on the upside, thankfully, and I’m hoping we’ll fell well enough to get outside and soak up some much needed natural vitamin D. After so many days of wet, gloomy weather this is like balm for my soul! 🍃 What’s the weather like where you are?
Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, Here is a friendly PSA for you...do not, I repeat, DO NOT attempt to apply eyeliner while you have the hiccups. It won't go well. Trust me on this one! 😜

In other news, the hot cocoa station is finally gone and in it's place is a fresh new look that was kicked off by finding a beautiful, rustic vase at @homegoods. It feels like my home is rising up to welcome Spring and I'm so ready for sunshine and longer days. 🍃

Don’t forget to check out my stories tonight for Friday funnies! I love hearing from so many of you who say it’s your favorite way to wrap up your week. ☺️

Happy weekend to you dear friends!
It’s Tip Tuesday time! This week I’m sharing o It’s Tip Tuesday time! This week I’m sharing one of my most favorite ways to simply and inexpensively add seasonal decor to your home. There’s nothing like getting big impact with little effort and without breaking the bank! #tiptuesday #decorforless
What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of What a gift it was to wake up on the first day of March and see glorious sunshine greeting us after a few days of ice and snow. This is the month of hope and expectation and I’m here for it.

Happy March first dear friends! 🍃
Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a r Our first ‘laundry room’ wasn’t actually a room at all. The 20+ year old washer and dryer we inherited after we got married was hooked up in the garage of our small townhouse. Our second ‘laundry room’ was an improvement because it was actually INSIDE the house but it was in our family room behind bifold doors.

So when we moved into this home 15 years ago I literally jumped up and down when I saw this real laundry room. Never mind that it had dated counters and an old stained sink. It was an actual room!

We made minor updates to it over the years but other, more visible, spaces took priority so we spent our resources on beautifying those.

But, last summer, we finally had new counters installed and made a few more updates that have completely transformed this room. 

Now, it’s almost a joy to do the laundry…almost! 😉

For more photos and details head on over to my website using the link in my bio.
“In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in “In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.
I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.”

Psalm 25:1-6
Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great chan Ronald Reagan famously said that “all great change in America begins at the dinner table.” I think this is true for everyone worldwide. You simply can’t put a value on the importance of gathering together for a meal with those you love. But, sometimes, we can struggle with getting the conversations flowing. So for this #tiptuesday, I’m sharing some tools we’ve used in our home. 🍃
There is just something about the combination of l There is just something about the combination of lemon and honey. It’s rustic yet fancy, sweet yet tart, spring-like yet comforting on a cold winters day. 

And that’s why this is hands down one of my favorite recipes! I decided to take a basic tea cake and turn it into a loaf of sweet, tart, simple yet fancy goodness and the only thing bad about it was how quickly it disappeared!

🍋You can find the recipe by following the link in my bio 🍯
“Have regular hours for work and play; make each “Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.” (Louisa May Alcott).

The sun is shining and it’s the perfect day to photograph our laundry room which got a bit of a makeover. This space is definitely useful as it bears the brunt of everyone tromping through it all day long but I think I’ve managed to make it pleasant as well. One of my greatest realizations in my homemaking journey was when I recognized that those two things weren’t mutually exclusive. In fact, it’s the pleasant that enhances the useful and vice versa.

I’ll have the rest of the makeover reveal on my website soon but I just couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek with you today! 🌿
A little bit of snow and ice leading to a two hour A little bit of snow and ice leading to a two hour school delay and then a little bit of sunshine followed by fog. That’s how our Valentines Day began!

I’m so thankful for my cozy home and my loves who live here with me and I can’t wait to spoil them a bit tonight. We don’t go crazy on Valentine’s Day but I try to still make it sweet even if it’s simple. 💕
