There's No Place Like Home!

Welcome to the SonnySide Blog!

Follow me down the yellow brick road. I promise there aren't any Lion's, Tigers or Bears...oh my, unless you include prints and faux furs?

Hi, I’m Ray Dawn, the Editor of SonnySide Blog. I love decorating and collecting all styles but lean towards anything french victorian. Vintage and antique pieces often speak to me, and if I hadn't seen the picture I would swear I was wrapped in cheetah print at birth. You are invited to come on a journey of exploring the dos and donts of home decor, vintage and antique collecting, and furniture preservation and restoration. It should be a fun time!

"Hobbyist or Profiteering?"

Whether you're a chalk paint furniture flipper or you simply enjoy the seasonal thrifting adventure I've got your covered. With photo documentaries and step by step guides, whatever lessons I learn along the way you will too.

Dipping your toes into "design" or even DIY can seem intimidating, but I challenge you to ask yourself what is your true style? What do you gravitate towards and what makes you happy? This bold Wizard of Oz bedroom suite is someone's dream room, and if you can imagine your dream space you can recreate that exact or an inspired look at within almost any budget with a little bit of elbow grease.

Let's Get Started
