About

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I’m Jamie, a travel and culture lover with unconventional ideas about living frugally without compromising good food, good style, and great design.

Southern Revivals is a lifestyle blog focusing on DIY, design, home improvement, and entertaining. I enjoy turning the discarded into the functional and beautiful. I’m a self-proclaimed pro at achieving the look I want without spending a ton of money, and sometimes no money at all.

I started this blog in 2011 just as an online portfolio for potential clients to see my work and it quickly blossomed into much more than that. Through Southern Revivals, I have had many exciting opportunities, from working with brands to working with magazines. But my most exciting opportunities come from helping you entertain, improve your home and DIY your way to the lifestyle you want on the budget you have. So, thank you for that!

I’m a Georgia native, with a ton of past addresses from all over the country, currently residing half-way between Atlanta and Savannah. I’m the mother of boys, a former tomboy myself, and a former martial artist turned power-tool-wielding ninja.

I hope you find my blog informative, entertaining and inspiring. As always, if you have ideas, questions or simply want to get in touch, you can reach me here: [email protected]
