About House of Hepworths
Holla! I’m Allison Hepworth…

…and this is my blog.
House of Hepworths is all about decorating your home one thrifty DIY project @ a time.
The goal of this blog is to help you become even more creative and awesome than you already are. (Which I’m sure is pretty dang awesome.)
Home decorating, crafting, and living thrifty are my passions in life. I want to teach you how to make amazing crafts and accessories as well as easily and inexpensively decorate your home.
We all want a nice home. We want our home to be beautiful. But at what cost? Hiring a decorator is expensive. Shopping at Pottery Barn and West Elm also ads up. My mission is to teach you how to beautify your home on a tight budget. Does this involve elbow grease? You betcha! But what you spend in sweat far makes up for what you can save from your pocket.
Who the heck is House of Hepworths anyway? Why is she legit?
I’m so glad you asked! No, I’m not a “professional decorator” if “professional decorator” means college-educated with a degree in Interior Design and employed by a 60 hour a week firm. What is a professional anyway? House of Hepworths has over 5,000 loyal subscribers and readers and receives over 150,000 page views a month. That fact alone is worth more than any piece of paper saying I’ve got an Interior Design Degree.
Do I pose as an Interior Designer? Heck no! I’m not one. And I don’t pretend to be. I’m just me, decorating my own home on a budget, and sharing my tips and tricks along the way.
Don’t take my word for it though! Check out some of my most popular posts for yourself. Here are 10 of my most infamous popular projects to date.
Also, a few of my off-topic confessions have been crowd pleasers as well:
* We All Have Skeletons, This is Mine
* Let’s Face IT, I’m Fat. But I’m Ready For A Change
Every Thursday I host the Hookin’ Up with HoH Weekly Link Party.
Occasionally I brag about your projects inspired by House of Hepworths in my Share.Inspire.Create. post. Email me your projects here to be featured.

HI Allison – I am one of your newest subscribers, and I could seriously spend hours looking at all of your great ideas! I am also a fellow Texan…DFW area. Thanks for all of the good info, and I look forward to your future posts!!
your blog ABout me me section is so lame FO SHIZZLE!~~~ yo Hepdog, WUZZUP?
I miss you! You’re the bomb and this site totally rocks… have I ever told you that?!
Allison,
I am new to blogging, and found Suesan from Frou-fru-Gal. You’re one savvy mama. I’m just getting started and don’t know what technical thing. I just do this to relieve a little bit of stress. She said you had a post on how to remove word verification from your blog, and suggested that I take a look at. Thanks, Leigh
Leigh, hmmm, I don’t think I’ve posted about word verification, but it should just be a setting. For me with my wordpress blog I just go to the “Discussion” link under “Settings” and check a box that turns it off. I’m not sure how blogger works, but I’m sure it’s just as easy. I do know that http://www.houseofsmiths.com has a tutorial for removing that. GL! Also, good luck with your new blog!
I’ve seen so many gush over HoH and after stopping by for the first time, I know why. I do feel like I already know you – you are so darrrrrrling (in my best Texas twang)! I look forward to seeing your blog posts. I’m married to a native Texan and I have a soft spot for you gals in the Lone Star.
I LOVE your blog!! I knew I had found a new BFF when you said Fo Shizzel!! I just about did spew my DC all over my computer!! So funny! Keep up the great work!
Where abouts do you live in Texas. I would love to be a IRL buddy, and craft with ya sometime.
Just found your blog TODAY and man have I been missing out!! LOVIN’ IT!! Keep up the funny!
=)
You sound like such a fun lady Allison! I enjoyed your info!
