Hi everyone! I’m Suzy.
Welcome to my home and my life here at Worthing Court, where I am constantly updating, makeover’ing and transforming my home on a budget!
I’m also helping others transform and update their homes too! You can read more about that by clicking RIGHT HERE.
I know that you, my friend, are passionate about your home and the life that you live in it. I’m here for you! My mission is to provide enjoyment, fulfillment and inspiration by bringing you an abundance of the best in easy, inspiring and affordable home decor ideas and by making personal decorating help available when you need it.
I’m here to inspire your creativity to help you create the home of your dreams and to provide you with the know-how to make it happen. I’m here to show you that creating a home that you love doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. Here at Worthing Court, you’ll find decorating ideas and inspiration, design tips, recipes, design dilemma solutions and tutorials for creating and decorating on a budget.
My decorating roots run deep and are life-long. All the way from “designing” my Barbie’s house underneath our dining room table, through ownership of seven homes that I fully decorated myself. I began receiving requests to help others with their homes early in my life and have never looked back!
Let’s get a little personal:
- I’m a child of God living by Grace every moment of my life.
- I’m the wife of a retired Marine Captain, mother of one, step-mother of three and Nanama to three precious girls.
- I started my formal training in interior design, but wasn’t able to finish it. I’m self-taught!
- I worked in the corporate world for 30+ years and am so happy to be out of that rat-race!
- I formerly owned and operated a custom drapery and soft home furnishings workroom.
- I cook when I have to, but I don’t enjoy it. I don’t enjoy doing laundry either!
- My favorite, budget friendly, places to shop for home decor are Target, HomeGoods, Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, Walmart and Marshalls.
- I am TERRIFIED of spiders! Sadly, I passed that fear along to my daughter.
- I don’t enjoy painting, in fact I’m very sloppy, but I do it because…budget.
- I have two furbaby shadows, Zoey and Buddy, that frequently make an appearance in my Instagram stories.
Tell me about you – I love hearing from you! One of the best things about blogging is getting to know people from all over the world. I would love to get to know you too!

I love your blog. I was wondering where you got the beautiful blue table in your den or great room. I love the color and the size. I have looked on line, but no luck.
Thanks,
Carolyn Lawrence

July 15, 2019 at 8:03 PMHi Suzy; I would like to replace the ugly builder grade pedestal sink in our powder room to a vanity with some storage; I have gone online to all the big box stores & am shocked at the $500 plus price tags on a particleboard vanity!!
Any suggestions?
P.S my husband is NOT handy so can’t make one out of a dresser (although I do love that look!)

July 17, 2019 at 6:26 AMHi Peg. I agree that the prices of bath vanities is crazy high! Unfortunately, I don’t have a true bargain shopping place for you, but I can tell you that I’ve found the best prices for them to be at Lowes and Home Depot.
