our story and our mission
We want you to love your home.
Your home is your respite, your retreat and your world. Inside it your home, you dream your dreams, raise your children, and love your family and friends. We want to be part of your love of home and have created our businesses with that purpose in mind.
Haymount Homes started with a love of our historic neighborhood of Haymount in downtown Fayetteville, NC. As a military family, we recognized the need for high quality rental homes but also understood the challenges of historic home optimization; our initial business was born. We wanted to care for our historic homes and also the people inside them. We wanted people to fall in love with our homes and neighborhood.
Our reach expanded into helping people envision changes inside their own homes - bringing love and appreciation into spaces that were previously frustrating and poorly optimized. We started helping others with renovation and design to enhance their enjoyment of their own spaces.
From there, we ventured into the space of healthy and curated home products that help our clients decorate, scent and enjoy their spaces and Haymount Homes The Market was born. Recognizing that high quality products were often out of reach for so many and hard on our planet, we worked to design high performing home fragrance, cleaning products and gifts to help people love their home, while keeping your health and the planet impact at the forefront of our effort. From there, we have expanded to offering a selection of houseplants and curated vintage and affordable decor finds to allow our clients affordable but quality design.
It is important to us to give back to the community that has given to us, which is why we donate at least 10% of our sales to local organizations inside Fayetteville. We want to be part of growing a stronger community and spreading the love.
Ultimately, we believe loving your home leads to better state of mind and ultimately happiness. We are unapologetic curators of happy. Routine things in life can be elevated and bring joy, even inside the simple tasks of life. We want to be part of your joy - your love - of your home and your life.
We are a proud, military family and lovers of Haymount in downtown Fayetteville, NC. These pictures were captured at the start of our journey.

Candle safety
SAFETY TIPS FOR BURNING DOUGH BOWLS (as well as any candle)
Keep burning dough bowl candles away from any hanging objects (drapes, scarves, jackets, plants, furniture, wall decor, carpets…) that can catch fire or may be damaged from the flame.
Do NOT burn candles when there is a breeze and all the windows are open. Be sure to turn off any fans that may alter the flame or create an unsafe burning environment. This will cause the candle to burn unevenly and can easily become a fire hazard. It is up to the customer to create a safe environment for burning the dough bowl candles.
Never leave the dough bowl candles burning unattended. Anything can happen in a moments time!! Be aware that there is an open flame and keep an eye on it. If you plan on leaving the room, extinguish the flame and then relight it when you re-enter the room.
We have tested and chosen wicks that do not burn completely to the edge of the wood on purpose to prevent any excess heating or the flame being exposed to wood directly. Do not burn this candle entirely down to the wood. If certain areas of wood under the wicks become exposed before others, stop lighting that wick. This is for your safety.
All of our wood bowls are treated with a NON TOXIC flame retardent to create an extra barrier of protection.
Remember to trim the wick each time to 1/4” and it is not advised by to burn a candle for longer than 3-4 hours at a time. This is to prevent overheating, combustion of materials, and the candle burning unevenly.
Be sure to burn these candles on a level surface, tray, stovetop, or flat surface to prevent leaks, spills, or heat damage.
