This lovingly restored 1949 cottage is an evolving archive of creativity and care. Every handwoven throw, vintage lamp, and repurposed shelf carries a story. Ivy is a website designer, certified herbalist, knitter, and sewist, with two small dogs, Vash and Millie. Ellie is a watercolor and pottery artist, jewelry maker, knitter, and fiber artist, whose pup Tato often supervises her studio work. Both grew up devouring Harry Potter and the great young adult novels of the 1990s and 2000s, surrounded by yarn, watercolor brushes, and dogs with opinions. Together they helped create a home that feels alive with memory, creativity, and meaning. This home is part of Joy Watson Real Estate, a local, non-corporate Greensboro business. Their work supports Guilford County high school students with learning differences through the Occupational Course of Study (OCS) program, providing real life and work experience through real homes.
