About

Welcome – I’m so glad you’re here!

My name is Ashley Whatley, and I’m the face behind Stay Home Style! I am a wife, dog mom, and home design enthusiast who started this blog as a creative way to share my love of affordable home décor, intentional design, and DIY projects.

THE HEART BEHIND STAY HOME STYLE

In 2019, my husband and I started building our first home. From picking out floors and counter tops, to shopping for light fixtures and furniture, I really fell in love with the process of designing our home. After we moved into our house in early 2020, and staying home became the new normal, I really took some time to take in our new space and focus on being intentional about making our house feel like a home. I wanted to create a space that felt easy and relaxing, yet elevated and put together; a space that would make us want to stay home. This is definitely easier said than done, but I love the process of trying to create an intentional home design, all while working on a budget!

Our home continues to evolve and change as we work towards designing a space that really captures this “stay home style” feeling, but I am so excited to share this journey with you along the way! My hope is that this little corner of the internet will encourage you to really seek out your own style and inspire you to create a space that makes you feel comfortable, excited, and at home. At the end of the day, I want you to have a space that truly makes you want to be there, because to me, that’s the meaning of stay home style!

thank you for being here!
