Hi, I’m Samantha Burgess—wife, mom, hostess, creative, and the heart behind Curated by Samantha.

​

I’ve always had a love for bringing beauty and meaning into everyday spaces. Whether it’s setting a table, styling a room, baking something sweet, or creating a thoughtful celebration, I believe hospitality is less about perfection and more about presence. It’s about crafting moments that feel warm, intentional, and full of life.

​

At 18, I landed my dream job working at Pier 1 Imports and spent my days pulling napkin rings and chargers off the shelf to create tabletop displays just for fun. Since then, I’ve worked in design, co-founded multiple businesses with my husband—including a financial firm—and most recently launched a nonprofit, Big Money Cares Foundation, focused on giving back to the community we love.

​

Curated by Samantha is a creative outlet—a place where I share home styling ideas, seasonal tablescapes, hosting inspiration, and curated finds for a life well-lived. It’s a blend of creativity and calling—where Southern style meets heartfelt intention.

​

Whether you’re here to find your next dinnerware set, plan a celebration, or simply feel inspired to make your home a little more beautiful—I’m so glad you’re here.
