Home design has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. My mind is always brimming with plans, dreams, and vision boards for personalizing every space. Homes are more than just structures; they tell stories, reflecting the personalities, histories, and experiences of those who dwell within them. A home is a living canvas, a place of comfort and connection, and the backdrop to life’s most meaningful moments. It’s where we begin and end our days, seek refuge from the world, and find restoration. Within its walls, we grow, learn, and love. We raise families, welcome friends, break bread, and create memories, turning a house into a true home. 

A thoughtfully designed home does more than look beautiful; it nurtures clarity, creativity, and a deep sense of belonging. It’s where life unfolds, and dreams take shape, not through perfection but through authenticity. Every detail should reflect the people who dwell there, blending beauty with practicality to enhance daily life. 

Investing in your home starts with the right professionals: trusted experts who bring a vision to reality with craftsmanship and care. They transform ideas into stunning and functional spaces. The right team doesn’t just build homes; they create places of belonging. 

The debut issue of Home by Simply Local brings a long-held vision to life: an annual magazine dedicated to celebrating the beauty and functionality of local homes while showcasing the expertise of industry professionals. It’s an honor to highlight the best that Billings has to offer—the incredible people that shape the spaces we live in and love. Their innovation and attention to detail bring convenience and character to our homes, making everyday living more beautiful. 

Whether you’re building your dream home from the ground up, personalizing your current space, improving functionality, or simply seeking inspiration from thoughtfully designed interiors, this issue offers something for everyone. Home by Simply Local is a tribute to the creativity and local craftsmanship that make a house feel like home.

Welcome Home!

Love,

"A WELL-DESIGNED HOME IS NOT JUST ABOUT AESTHETICS; IT’S ABOUT CREATING A SPACE THAT NURTURES THE SOUL."
