What is creative living?
People often ask me why Creative Living is part of my business name. Well… here is why!
As someone who loves creating and experimenting, I’ve always believed that creative living isn’t reserved for artists. It’s reflected in how you dress…
how you decorate your home…
what and how you eat,
how you travel,
how you connect with people,
ultimately, in how you choose to live your life.
For me, creative living means making something out of nothing. It means reusing and repurposing, seeing beauty where others might not, and working within limits—even when I could spend more—because creativity often flourishes with a little constraint.
And then there’s the making itself: painting furniture, working with clay, gardening, designing jewelry, finding forgotten treasures and giving them a second life. I love the process as much as the finished piece.
Creative living isn’t about being perfect or artistic enough. It’s about staying curious, noticing possibilities, and choosing to make everyday life a little more thoughtful, a little more beautiful, and a lot more personal. That’s what Poppyseed Creative Living has always been about.
