Hi Loves!

WELCOME TO SOUTHERN TO A TEA!

My name is Courtney, the creator behind STAT, and i’m SO glad you’re here!

A little bit about me: I currently live in Holly Springs, North Carolina in a new construction home that we just finished designing and building a few years ago. I’ve been married to the love of my life, Ryan, for almost 5 years now and we have two beautiful boys together named Stratton & George. They are my angels! We also have 2 crazy German Shepherds named Sasha & Holger (who are definitely my babies as well). Home life for us is never boring, quiet, or lacking snuggles all around :)

By day, I’m a private chef, maid, chauffeur, referee, assistant, handyman….in short, I’m a stay at home mama to my boys! :) Before staying at home full time, my professional background was in the food industry. I had worked for a brokerage firm where I represented 60+ different food manufacturers. I would take their products out to my local restaurants and venues. I got the pleasure of meeting talented chefs and business owners every day while cooking up and tasting delicious food. It was an incredible career! Now I spend most of my time in my personal kitchen instead and i’m loving it!

By night, (baaaaasically when the kids go to sleep lol) I love making our house into a home! It’s been so fun over the last few years designing the house and every tiny detail that went into it but now the REAL fun begins, decorating! I hope to share my passion for interior design and inspire any fun projects you’ve been wanting to do as well. My style is forever evolving and that’s definitely reflected in the house. Recently I’ve been drawn to antiques and any style that was popular in France hundreds of years ago.

A few other words to describe me in a NUTSHELL [extroverted introvert - night owl - procrastinating perfectionist - sagittarius - loves spontaneity - hostess - over-thinker - self sufficient - creative - very determined]

So so excited to have you along for the ride… now, let’s have some fun!
