Warm and Welcoming, Inspiring and Aspirational, Curated and Passionate, Community-Focused (Implied)

Brand Values

• •Customer Happiness: the most important aspect of our business is keeping our customers happy.
• •Beauty and Functionality: They aim to provide items that "add beauty and functionality to the home."
• •Curated Quality: Emphasis on "carefully curated pieces" from around the world suggests a value for quality and uniqueness.
• •Blending Old and New: Their roots in remodeling historic homes show an appreciation for both traditional and contemporary aesthetics.
• •Inspiration: They hope customers "find something you love as much as we love sharing it with you!" implying a desire to inspire.

Best Practices

• •Embrace Warmth: Use inviting and friendly language. Address the customer directly and make them feel welcome (e.g., "We're so glad you're here," "We hope you find...").
• •Highlight the "Curated" Aspect: Emphasize the care and passion behind product selection (e.g., "handpicked," "specially selected," "discovered"). This reinforces the value of unique, quality items.
• •Inspire Creativity: Encourage customers to envision how products can enhance their own spaces. Use evocative descriptions that speak to feelings and experiences, not just features (e.g., "create a cozy reading nook," "add a touch of sunshine").
• •Tell a Story: Weave in the brand's origin or the inspiration behind collections. This builds a connection and makes the brand more relatable, like their story of evolving from an interior design business.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the copy's tone aligns with the visual aesthetic (cottage-inspired, vintage, warm). Use descriptive adjectives that reflect the visuals (e.g., "charming," "rustic," "delicate," "inviting").

Social Perception

Generally positive, customers appreciate the unique, vintage, and farmhouse-style decor. The brand is perceived as offering good value and customer service. Aesthetic appeal is strong with recognition for its distinct "cottage inspired decor" and "farmhouse & vintage style."
