About

Hi, I’m NataLee — the creator behind Designed to the Nines, where I share elegant, approachable ways to create a home that feels timeless, warm, and beautifully curated… without overspending.

I’ve always believed that your home should tell your story — not your budget. That belief is what inspired me to start Designed to the Nines: a place where high-end style meets real-life practicality. Here, you’ll find elevated DIY decor, thrift flips, seasonal decorating ideas, and budget-friendly ways to achieve a designer look — all with a focus on creating spaces that feel intentional and lived-in, not just styled for a moment.

My passion for DIY doesn’t stop at decorating. On my sister channel, Aleah DIY, I take things a step further — diving into larger renovation projects, builds, and power-tool-based transformations. It’s where creativity meets craftsmanship, and where I show that women can confidently take on projects that are often seen as intimidating.

That passion also led to something even bigger — Aleah, my female-focused  DIY & power tool brand. Aleah was created to empower women to feel confident picking up tools, tackling projects, and transforming their spaces on their own terms. Everything I create — from videos to products — is rooted in the belief that you are capable of building a home you truly love.

Whether you’re here to find simple ways to elevate your decor, transform thrifted pieces into something beautiful, or gain the confidence to take on bigger projects, I’m so glad you’re here.

Because creating a beautiful home isn’t about perfection — it’s about intention, creativity, and making your space feel like you.
