I have been married to my incredible husband, Tyler for four years. We have had a whirlwind of a life, moving over seven times in three years. I have learned the true meaning of "home" truly lies with those you love and not where you live.


We have been blessed with a beautiful daughter who is almost two years old. We desire to be a family who loves and serves the Lord in all we do. I have recently discovered a love for thrifting, DIY projects and all things in need of restoration.


My love for antiques and all things old is passed down from my Mama. The house I grew up in is FULL of amazing pieces that have been in the family for years. Each picture, doily, chair, and vase has a story. I love to sit and hear Mama's stories of summer evenings chasing fireflies on the farm, picking raspberries in the garden, and canning jelly and pickles in the cellar. (In fact our "entertainment center" is an old Jelly cabinet I restored that was in my grandma's cellar for years).


I grew up surrounded by the faces of my family from years ago and antiques passed down for generations. I love the heritage of my family and know I am deeply rooted in faith and love as I look around at these "old" things passed down. My favorite pieces are ones I have "inherited" and made my own with a new coat of paint or re-design.


I recently decided to start sharing this love with others in hopes it will inspire and allow you to see things in a new way or pick up a paint brush and DIY. Everything is better with a story to go with it, so up-cycle that lamp from your grandma, reupholster that chair from your Mom's attic, and turn that trunk into a coffee table. Can't wait to hear your stories!


What Kirstin didn't mention is that she also has an Etsy Shop! Check out some of these goodies...
