Press & Publications | Dabbling & Decorating in the Spotlight

Welcome to the spotlight! Over the years, Dabbling & Decorating has been honored to appear in national magazines, online publications, and trusted home decor platforms that celebrate vintage style, meaningful collections, and a good old-fashioned thrift haul. From cozy corners in my Maine and Vermont homes to creative styling ideas that caught the eyes of editors, these features reflect the heart and soul of what I love to share—timeless home decorating with character, charm, and a whole lot of secondhand stories.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have been featured, and this is where I’ll be keeping track of it all as the journey continues.
