Meet the Artist: Stacey's Journey from Nashville to Beach Life

If you love the beach, searching for beach treasures, or decorating with coastal decor, I’m looking for YOU!

Today  I wanted to pop in and show my face a bit to give you a chance to know the artist and family here behind Anchored Soul Designs. 

I’m Stacey, Nashville girl, turned beach girl! Technically, I was born in New Jersey, not far from the beach, it just took me about 40 years to get back to beach life!

I took countless beach trips as a kid to visit family in Florida, but when I began making beach trips with friends in high school and college was when I really got the beach bug. My best friend and I would travel to beaches all over North Carolina, and then when I began a family we took more trips to North Carolina, Georgia and Florida beaches. 

I began making beach signs after the birth of my first child because I couldn’t find any in stores that fit my coastal style and didn’t look cheap and tacky.

From there I began making beach signs and farmhouse signs to sell because after all I was in the middle of Tennessee! I sold online, locally at markets and in many local small shops. 

When we bought our first home in Tennessee, I went full in on decorating coastal decor despite being far from the beach. I used my home to style and show off my beach signs as my business grew. 

Then in 2020 when the world flipped upside down, we decided we might as well flip it some more and head to the beach to live. 

Now I’m making my beach signs, living a mile from the beach, and enjoying our small town Amelia Island life. Life is still full of challenges, but it would be the same wherever we live. Living near the beach, makes it that much better and easier to handle life’s challenges though.

Until you can live the beach life yourself, that’s what I’m here for. To inspire you and help you fill your life with coastal decor until you have your home by the sea.
