Our story and our mission
We want you to love your home.
Your home is more than a place — it is your retreat, your refuge, and the backdrop of your life. It’s where dreams are built, children are raised, friendships are nurtured, and everyday moments become meaningful. At Haymount Homes, everything we do is rooted in helping people feel more connected to the spaces they live in.
Haymount Homes began with our deep love for the historic Haymount neighborhood in downtown Fayetteville, North Carolina. As a military family, we saw the need for high-quality rental homes while also understanding the unique care and attention historic properties require. Our first business was born from a desire to honor these homes — and the people who live within them — by creating spaces worth falling in love with.
Over time, our work expanded beyond rentals into helping others reimagine their own homes through thoughtful renovation and design. We began guiding clients in transforming frustrating or poorly optimized spaces into ones that feel functional, beautiful, and deeply personal.
From there, Haymount Homes The Market was created — a natural extension of our belief that the home should support both well-being and joy. We offer healthy, high-performing home fragrance, cleaning products, gifts, houseplants, and curated décor that are designed with your health, your home, and the planet in mind. We believe quality should feel attainable, sustainable, and inspiring.
Giving back is also central to who we are. That’s why we donate at least 10% of our sales to local organizations in Fayetteville, helping strengthen the community that has supported us so deeply.
Ultimately, we believe that loving your home leads to a better state of mind — and a happier life. We are unapologetic curators of joy, here to elevate the everyday and help you create a home you truly love.
We are a proud, military family and lovers of Haymount in downtown Fayetteville, NC. These pictures were captured at the start of our journey.

Safety Tips for Burning Dough Bowl Candles (and Any Candle)
Keep candles away from anything flammable such as drapes, plants, clothing, furniture, wall décor, or carpets.
Avoid burning in drafts or breezy areas. Do not burn with windows open or fans running, as airflow can cause uneven burning and create a fire hazard.
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish the flame before leaving the room, even for a moment.
Do not burn the candle all the way down to the wood. Our wicks are designed not to burn completely to the bowl’s edge for safety. If the wood becomes exposed beneath a wick, discontinue use of that wick.
Our bowls are treated with a non-toxic flame retardant for an added layer of protection.
Trim wicks to ¼ inch before each burn and limit burn time to 3–4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and uneven burning.
Always place your candle on a level, heat-safe surface such as a tray, stovetop, or flat counter to prevent spills, leaks, or heat damage.
