“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
interior designer. PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER. MINIMALIST.
Hi! My name is Sarah. I am passionate about many things in life and home environments are at the top of my list! I believe a home should be a safe space, a beautiful, peaceful, calming space; a personal oasis to relax and enjoy life, family, and friends. Our homes have a huge impact on our mental health and our ability to relax. My goal is to help people design and set up lifestyle habits that will help you live your best life.
I have lived in a variety of homes that have differed greatly in size and place. Throughout my adult life I have lived in different cities, states, and even countries, so I have had the opportunity to learn how to efficiently organize and downsize, as well as practice setting up a space I can love, no matter where I am. Most recently I spent about three years living in a 160 sf Tiny House with my husband. We had to effectively downsize, adapt to a minimalist lifestyle, and organize every inch of our home so that it was useful and clutter free.
I believe that minimalism can apply to any sized space with any amount of items in it, so long as you love and use all of those items in your home. It isn’t about getting down to a certain number of possessions or having nothing at all. It’s about using what you do have, enjoying what you own, and not having excess. I want to help you live life with less ‘stuff’ - whatever that means to you. I want to help you design a space that is uniquely you and get you started on the path to achieving your goals toward better, happier, healthy living.
Let’s have fun rethinking and curating your lifestyle, designing it with intention, organizing it for the best function, and making sure your personality is reflected.
origins of Terracotta life
Terracotta Life was born from my own journey into minimalism and Tiny House Living. The name came from the idea that, like a flower in a terracotta pot, no matter how simple or small the home, beauty can grow abundantly. Let’s work together to create your own beautiful paradise.
