Dried florals foraged from the garden and woods along with a mix of vintage finds brings charm and whimsy to this fireplace. The choice of classic marble tile and dark painted surround add to the cozy feel.
Artwork that holds meaning along with vintage dishes displayed in the old glass bookshelf and on the secondhand bar cart, contribute to cozy feel in this dining room.

Custom cabinetry and live edge walnut shelves made this kitchen pretty and functional.
I designed this entire room around those two vintage pendant lights that I found at a Habit for Humanity Restore shop.

I added bookshelves on each side of the bed to serve as nightstands and wall sconces for bedside lights to accomodate the narrow dimensions of this room and the need for a king size bed.
I sourced these vintage sidelights on eBay and had the trim carpenter turn them into French doors so that we wouldn't lose the natural light from these closet windows in the bedroom.
Little details like this elevate your everyday living in such a joyful way.
This is another example of an eBay find. I sourced these leaded glass old cabinet doors, painted them, and had the trim carpenter build this built-in with them so that it felt original to the 1912 home.
Sunlit porch with wicker porch swing, cushions, and pillows, a deer sculpture, and a small wooden table with a rainbow pillow, all decorated with curtains and beaded hanging decoration.
Vintage furniture can often be found for cheaper and better quality than what's available today. I love the unique look that it provides!
Eclectic lighting choices can make all the difference.
This was once a completely unfinished attic that I transformed into a kid's play area, entertainment, and craft space. I used stock cabinets from Lowes that I painted black to match the beverage fridge and a cheap butcher block counter to add a littl
This is the entertaining side of the attic I finished. It came a long way from the drafty dark unfinished space that it was when we bought the home.
Another view of the entertainment space. Full of vintage charm and modern comforts.
We changed the entire roofline of the home to create the craft area side of the attic and space for this landing at the top of the stairs.
Sunlit attic room with a corner window seat topped with cushions and a small green ukulele, a round white table, and two chairs in front, with a wooden beam and hanging stained glass vintage lamp featuring dried florals.
When finishing an attic space, I like to use every last nook available. This was a treasured little play area by any kids that visited.
Even when a half bathroom is squeezed into the tiniest of spots, it can still feel special. This wood was the original attic walls that were up here so felt appropriate to incorporate a nod to that back into the finished space.
I love displaying personal collections and memories to make your home YOUR home!
A cozy finished attic with a sloped ceiling, wooden beams, and a collection of framed artwork and posters on the wall. There are large windows with diamond-shaped panes, a small sink with a gold faucet, and a shelf with glassware and a potted plant.
This is another kitchen I designed using a local Amish cabinetmaker. Every detail was thoughtfully planned out to accommodate the family cooking in it and their storage needs to make the most of the space available.
A mix of items that hold special meaning to the homeowners and displayed beautifully to enjoy.
I customized this pantry design so that the family had a space for everything, including their kids' lunch boxes in the drawer below.

This was a narrower space, so the bedside tables were replaced with small shelves to hold her essentials.

My son's room was designed to maximize the space available by providing room for sleepovers or reading a book in the loft above. It was a cost-effective solution that can be easily changed as he grows.
I added this picture frame molding and the floral details to this entry area. It fooled a lot of visitors in this historic home.
William Morris wallpaper adds so much coziness to this space.

Always love a good mix of old and new items.
Designed this deck and patio space for entertaining and flow from the kitchen.

I packed lots of vintage charm into this 1895 Airbnb in Beulah, MI.
The little desk next to the bed serves dual purpose in this small Airbnb bedroom. Since it' is an 1895 home, all of the bathrooms are located downstairs. This solution gives guests not only a nightstand, but also a vanity for getting ready in their r
Another bedroom in this 1895 cottage allows for an entire family to cozy up together while staying at this Airbnb. There is a desk space in the corner at the end of the bunk beds, so the layout allows for a lot despite the small space.
Wallpaper on the ceiling gives this Airbnb bedroom personality. And the little nook was the perfect spot to add a work from home space. Hooks added to the wall are also great for guests as it makes it less likely for them to leave anything behind.
I love a gallery wall in a corner. The curtain was a smart solution for adding extra private sleeping space on the main level of this little cottage (there is a daybed to the right of this image).
Lots of seating options and charm for this 1895 cottage's small living room. The wallpaper ties in with the cottage's name--The Daisy Home.
I added an outdoor shower to the small patio space out back. The cottage is a short walk from Crystal Lake's beach so it's the perfect spot to rinse off after a day in the sun or even to start your morning outdoors. The colors were inspired by my pai
The back of the cottage was a grassy hill. We turned it into a useful patio space by adding a boulder retaining wall, fence, and cement patio.
