About the host
Hosted by Beth Davis
I’m a fun loving, adventure seeking, thrift store loving boho girl. I’ve lived in Pittsboro for over 20 years and I’m excited to share my home and my town with you!
Why they chose this property
It found me. It was an abandoned house covered in overgrown shrubs and just waiting to be loved. I knew I had to have it so it could shine and smile. I knew it was a special place that needed to be shared with others.
What makes this property unique
Whimsy is filled with love. Everything in the house is an homage to the local craftsmen, shops, and people of Pittsboro. I work to keep the energy fun and warm so it feels like your home away from home.
