I’m still collecting magazines like I’m one productive weekend away from becoming Martha Stewart.
In reality, I rearranged a corner, drank something hot, and called it a huge success. 🤍

If you love old homes, cozy hobbies, pretty paper things, and fully believe your best domestic era is always about to begin… welcome. You’re my kind of people. 🏡

The blue I get asked about constantly… and for good reason 💙

Light Blue by Farrow & Ball

Soft, calming, timeless — never too baby-blue, never too gray. It just works in every light.

We loved it so much in our bedroom that we used it again in our back entry… and I’m already obsessed all over again ✨ Reveal coming soon.

If you’ve been hunting for a versatile blue that won’t feel trendy in a year — this is it.

Save this for your future paint project 🎨

Overalls + a striped tee = my favorite kind of easy outfit. 🤎 Comfortable enough for errands, cute enough for antique shopping, and finished off with the best neutral platform sandals.

The anticipation that life will soon look like this is REAL!

Who is ready for sunshine, fresh greens, porch swings, and the sound of crickets humming at night?? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Saving these for now… but not sure how much longer I’ll have the self-control 🤍

Hi, I’m Tessa. 🤍

I’m a mom of four, living in a 1920s home where the windows stay open as much as possible and most of our favorite moments happen right here.

I’ve learned that the life I was chasing isn’t nearly as meaningful as the one I already have — slow days, simple meals, and a home that feels lived in and loved.

If you’re into that kind of life too, I think you’ll feel at home here. 🏡

If you’re refreshing your living room for the season—start here 🤍 These Wayfair finds bring warmth, texture, and that collected-over-time feel.

#LTKHome

A few thoughtful pieces can completely transform a space ✨ These Wayfair living room finds are equal parts timeless and functional.

Creating a living room that feels layered, cozy, and lived-in 🤍 Sharing my favorite Wayfair finds that make it easy to pull everything together.

I’m Tessa. Mom to four, professional over-committer to cozy, collector of old things, and fully convinced that romanticizing your life is the fastest way to contentment… no matter where you live.

I believe in too many shelves, afternoon light, lived-in homes, and saying yes to one more beautiful thing even when it means more to clean later. Joy first, consequences second 🤍

If you feel personal seen while just reading this … let’s be friends!

When you start to understand that a lived-in home is built in the smallest details, the way you decorate begins to change.

It becomes less about curating the “perfect” space and more about creating something that feels like it has always belonged to you. Pieces collected slowly. Corners shaped by real life. Rooms that hold memory, not just furniture.

If there’s anything I hope you take from our home and this journey of learning to love where we are, it’s this: home isn’t meant to be built in a day. It’s meant to be grown into.

Save this as a reminder to slow down… and tell me, what small detail in your home makes it feel most like you? 🤍

Follow along for more lived-in, heritage-inspired home ideas and everyday beauty.

I didn’t get the pink room of my dreams growing up… and no, it wasn’t a tragic childhood event 😌

But apparently my adult coping mechanism is turning an entire room into a whimsical, vintage-inspired pink fantasy.

For the children.
Obviously. 💅

If you love vintage-inspired, moody, lived-in corners and old homes that feel layered and personal… follow along. I’m basically just over here decorating like it’s therapy ✨

Hi, I’m Tessa.

Over the last eight years in our 1920s Craftsman, something unexpected has happened. Little by little, I’ve let go of the life I thought I was supposed to build… and started embracing the one right in front of me.

A small kitchen.
An old house with quirks and character.
Life in a rural town.
Spaces layered slowly, lived in fully, and loved deeply.

This home has taught me that beauty isn’t found in bigger or newer… it’s found in paying attention, in choosing contentment, and in telling a story with what you already have.

If you’re new here, welcome. I’m so glad you found your way.

Drop a 💛 below and introduce yourself if you’re new — I’d love to know you’re here.

Some people run errands…
some of us drive across state lines to pick up a lamp from a stranger’s porch and call it a perfectly normal Saturday. 🙃🏺

If you love antique runs, cozy corners, pieces with character, and building a home slowly over time… you’re in the right place. 🤍

Hi, I’m Tessa. I’m really glad you found your way. 🏡
