About Us
Our Story
Hi there and welcome to the cozy mess!
I'm Andreea, and together with my husband, Andrew, we're the proud creators of this little nook of the internet. It all started when we bought our dream home in the countryside—a charming but slightly disheveled place that whispered 'potential' with every creaky floorboard. Poetic right?
Here's how it actually started....
Like any new homeowner armed with big dreams (and an even bigger to-do list), I found my favorite spot on our cozy couch and began the endless scroll for inspiration. Pinterest became my best friend and worst enemy all at once, fueling my dreams of shiplap walls and vintage finds. It wasn't long before I thought, "Why not share this rollercoaster ride with the world?" And just like that, The Cozy Mess was born.
This blog is our heart and soul. It's where we document our journey of turning a house into our home, with all the triumphs and tribulations along the way. From epic DIY fails to unexpected design wins, we share it all. We started this blog with the hope of inspiring others like us—folks who want to create a beautiful living space without hiring a pro or spending a fortune.
So grab a cup of coffee (or a paintbrush, if you’re feeling adventurous!), and join us as we muddle through the mess of making our home a little cozier, one laugh and one project at a time.
Here’s to creating beautiful chaos and cherishing the perfectly imperfect—welcome to our cozy corner of the world!
Cheers to making messes and memories,
Andreea (and Andrew, in spirit!)
