Your home is your perfect holiday destination. Let me show you why.
I’m Lee Frankie,
I live by one belief: you don’t need to spend a fortune or go anywhere to feel like you’re on holiday.
True comfort doesn’t come with a price tag. Having spent my life immersed in homes and hospitality, I’ve learned exactly how to transform your everyday environment into a daily retreat and somewhere along the way, I figured out how to make your home feel like a holiday every day.
Facts about me
I didn’t study interior design. I lived it, breathed it and worked it.
Growing up in the hotel trade, waitressing, pulling pints, making beds. Those years taught me something that no design course ever could: beautiful spaces aren’t about money. They’re about attention, intention, and a bit of heart.
Running my own cleaning business for ten years, allowed me inside hundreds of homes, and I’ve seen exactly what makes a space feel alive and what makes it feel flat. Spoiler: it’s rarely about the budget.
Today I work in flooring and interiors, out on the road in both homes and commercial spaces, so when I recommend something, it’s because I’ve seen it work in real life. I also hold a diploma in Life Coaching and have a soft spot for self-help books, which is why you’ll find a little wellbeing woven through everything here.
I love a tidy house (tidy house, tidy mind) and I’d happily argue that every home is improved by a dog.
Make Memories, Not Credit Card Debt
That’s not just a tagline, It’s something I had to learn the hard way.
I’ve been in debt. Real debt. The kind that sits heavy on your chest at 2am and follows you into every decision. A lot of it came from chasing the idea that happiness needed a price tag. The holidays, the things, the keeping up.
It took me a while to figure out that the moments I actually treasured didn’t cost much at all. A proper Sunday at home. A seasonal table dressed with bits from the garden. The right candle burning on a grey afternoon. The feeling of your own front door closing behind you and everything just settling.
That’s what this blog is really about. Not because I’ve always had it figured out but because I didn’t, and I want to save you some of the pain that comes with that.
