The Soul-ution Story
What is the first thing you think of when you buy your first property?
The first thing that came to mind for me was how I was going to make it a home. My own space. My own choice of colours. My own décor. My blank canvas.
So, the first thing I did was create a Pinterest board and filled it with all the decorating ideas and affordable tips I could use to make my place a home! I called the board “Tanya’s Castle Ideas”.
With all the main appliances bought, I was ready to furnish my freshly painted abode with all the various ideas I had saved to my Pinterest board. But as soon as I attempted to start forfilling these Pinterest dreams, I found that what I wanted was nowhere to be found, online or in the shops. And when I actually did, the price of the item was way over my budget. I was not willing to compromise, but I was also not getting a salary increase anytime soon.
So I jumped on the DIY wagon…
I wanted to avoid “Made in China” like a plague and fake wood was not an option. Furniture and décor made from refurbed pallet wood was a relatively new trend, so I investigated. What resulted was a new appreciation and love for wood!
My search phrases on Pinterest slowly started changing and I was hooked! I could make whatever I wanted. I could make it simple. I could make it affordable. I could make it so that no one else has the same one. That was the main aim.
I purchased a table saw, a hammer, some nails, wood glue and managed to find some pallet wood. I then purchased a 4m x 3m wendy house and in a short space of time, I was creating wooden décor items all by myself.
I had found a solution for my soul, hence Soul-ution was born!
From then till now…
I have met numerous suppliers over the last 4 years who create unique home décor that I love, so much so that Soul-ution has now become a home for them too.
So whether it is home décor you are looking for, for yourself, or perhaps a gift for someone else, I hope you will find products here that you love as much as I do, and I can promise, it was NOT Made In China 😊
