How to Make a Luxurious Sugar Scrub at Home

By: Southern Hospitality Co

I’ve always lovedgiving people things. Not grand things. Just small, unexpected offerings. A handwritten note. A jar of something homemade. A scrub that makes your hands feel like they belong to someone who drinks enough water and remembers to take deep breaths.

This sugar scrub came out of that instinct. It’s nothing revolutionary. It’s sugar and oil and scent. But somehow, when you stir them together with the right kind of…

DIY Citronella Candle Cachepot

Some projects aren’t really projects. They’re moments you give yourself. A quiet hour, something warm to sip, a soft scent filling the house while you make something beautiful almost by accident.

I found these little cachepot planters in the prettiest soft blue, just enough color to feel special without trying too hard. They also come in white if you’re feeling classic. I went with the 4-inch size, though there’s a 6-inch version if you want…

The Art I Couldn’t Stop Thinking About—So I Made It Myself

By: Ashlyn Walters / Southern Hospitality Co.

It started, as most dangerously inspiring ideas do, with a casual stroll in Round Top, Texas. You know the kind where you leave your better judgment (and your minimalist design aesthetic) in the car and come back with wild ideas and probably a vintage decorative accessory you didn’t need.

I was somewhere between a linen tent and a lemonade stand when I saw it. A piece of…

Tiny Space, Big Style: My Favorite Mini Makeover Yet

There’s a small alcove just off my kitchen that’s always felt a little…unfinished. I had all the elements I loved—blue and white ceramics, a few favorite art pieces, and some faux hydrangeas—but the space still didn’t feel quite right. It’s deeper than it looks, and despite the décor, it lacked that sense of cohesion and purpose.

On a whim, I tried peel-and-stick grasscloth wallpaper—and it completely changed the game. I didn’t expect much from a…

But, while fresh citrus can elevate your cocktails, there’s an even more exciting option that offers a new level of versatility: dehydrated…

Crafting Connections: The Power of Storytelling in Visual Branding

By: By: Holly Hollon

In a world where first impressions are formed in seconds, visual branding is more than aesthetics—it’s a language that communicates a brand’s essence. At its core lies storytelling, the element that transforms a brand from something seen to something felt. A well-told story, woven into every visual touchpoint, creates an emotional connection that lingers. More than just selling a product, storytelling elevates a brand into an experience—one that resonates, endures,…

How to Make Your Overnight Guests Feel Extra Welcome

Being a gracious hostess is a fine art — but let’s be real: none of us have a perfectly polished home at all times. My own “perfectly imperfect” approach to hosting has taught me one key thing: it’s the little touches that make your guests feel truly special, not your Pinterest worthy living room. So, if you want to make your overnight guests feel like royalty (without getting stressed out), here are some easy, thoughtful…
