Hi, I'm Emily Hartwell
A home decor enthusiast who believes every home deserves to feel beautiful, no matter the budget or size.
I started Live Decor Well because I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to decorate a home. Whether you're moving into your first apartment, refreshing a tired room, or dreaming up the perfect front porch, I want this blog to be the place where you find real, achievable ideas that make your space feel like you.
Over the years, I've flipped thrift store finds, painted more rooms than I can count, and learned that the best decor doesn't come from a catalog — it comes from creativity and a willingness to try. Live Decor Well is where I share everything I've learned along the way.
