I believe beauty is found in the essence of things -Amy Lee

Behind "I'm Amy Lee

I'm so glad you're here.

One question I occasionally get is, "Is Lee your last name?" It's actually my middle name. Lee has been passed down through the women in my family—my mom, my sisters, and I all share it— so when it came time to create this space, I'm Amy Lee felt like the perfect name. It's personal, meaningful, and truly reflects who I am.

I've always been creative at heart. Whether it's painting furniture, designing jewelry, styling outfits, decorating a room, or transforming an overlooked thrifted find, I love the process of creating something beautiful and giving new life to everyday pieces.

Over the years, I've been fortunate to experience different parts of the country, each with its own style, architecture, and way of living. My childhood was shaped by life along the coast, while today I'm inspired by the wide-open beauty of the Kansas prairie. Though the landscapes are worlds apart, both have taught me to notice the little details—the changing light, natural textures, timeless beauty, and the stories every place has to tell.

I've always been drawn to the essence of things—the character of a well-loved piece, the craftsmanship behind something handmade, the beauty found in nature, and the stories that give everyday objects meaning.

I believe beauty is found in the essence of things—in the stories they carry, the craftsmanship behind them, the memories they hold, and the possibility they inspire. Whether it's a thoughtfully styled outfit, a well-loved vintage piece, a new creation, fresh bread cooling on the counter, or a home filled with warmth, I hope to inspire others to slow down, notice the details, and create a life that's both beautiful and meaningful.

Whether something is decades old or simply waiting for a fresh perspective, I love uncovering its potential and imagining what it can become, or even just simply enjoying what it is. 

I created I'm Amy Lee as a place where creativity, timeless style, beautiful spaces, and everyday inspiration come together. Here, I share thoughtfully curated fashion, home décor, creative projects, DIY inspiration, and favorite finds that I genuinely love—all with the hope of inspiring you to create a home and wardrobe that feel uniquely yours.

I believe beautiful style doesn't have to be complicated, and a welcoming home isn't about perfection. It's about surrounding yourself with pieces that tell your story, reflect your personality, and bring a little more joy to everyday life.

When I'm not creating, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband, our two sons, and our Morkie, Maxwell—or dreaming up my next creative project.

Whether you're here for outfit inspiration, home ideas, creative projects, or simply to see what I'm creating next, I'm honored you've stopped by.

My hope is that you leave here inspired to create a life that's beautiful, meaningful, and uniquely your own.

With gratitude,

Amy
