It's A Family Affair
Cottages and Bungalows
|August - September 2021
The savvy owner of a décor, clothing and vintage boutique honors her family in all she creates.
Michelle McLeod, a native New Yorker now residing in the sunshine state of Florida, is the proud owner of a décor, clothing and vintage boutique, and a leading Instagram influencer (@georgiamaes_athome).
What Michelle’s followers may not know about her is that family is at the heart of everything she does, and two special women are her most treasured muses. Georgia Mae (Michelle’s motherin-law) was her reason for following her dream of opening her own shop. “My mother-in-law gave me the courage to walk away from my 30-year career in the beauty industry to pursue my dream of owning my own business,” says Michelle.
