Original Art for Your Well-Collected Home: The Story of You 🏠🎨💖

So you want to know my toxic trait, friend? Here it is: asking you for your opinion and doing what I wanted in the first place anyways… 
 
I posted a poll on Instagram asking which phrase resonates with you: "the well-collected home" or "the inspired home."
 
I was trying to decide which to use in my tagline: "Original art for the ___ home."
 
The inspired home won by a landslide.
 
I was honestly like 🤯🤯🤯 because I liked "the well-collected home" so much better!
 
So I wondered 🤔 maybe it needs more explanation?
 
Cause "inspired" is cool and all + I want my messaging to resonate but it’s also kind of…generic. 😬
 
Like…you can be "inspired" and buy a boring beige sectional + a set of farmhouse signs from Hobby Lobby + a gold lamp from 🎯 and that’s…cute. 
 
🫣 Yeah, I’m throwing shade but that copy & paste trendy look just isn’t my thing.
 
I believe the best home is decorated over time. It’s filled with family heirlooms: your grandmother’s lamp, comfortable old couches you’ve slipcovered to update the 1980's floral upholstery, a quilt your mom made. Next there are well designed chairs you invested in, Facebook marketplace finds, wall art you couldn’t believe you found at the thrift shop for $4, and paintings you splurged on because couldn’t live without them.
 
Old stuff, unique stuff, layers and textures and mixed patterns and things made by hand or made a long time ago.
 
When I create, my dream is that my work becomes a part of that narrative. That it will be included in the backdrop where the story of your life takes place: your beautiful, well-collected home.
 
Then it hit me: it needs a tweak!
 
📚You can take a nerd out of the library, but you can’t take the nerd 🤓 outta the girl: words matter, and one little edit makes all the difference.
 
ORIGINAL ART FOR YOUR WELL-COLLECTED HOME.
 
Is this the mic 🎤 drop?
 
Because my art isn’t just for any generic, run of the mill, "customer avatar’s" home.
 
It’s for you. The home that belongs to the one unique, beautiful, precious YOU.
 
I think that makes all the difference.
