If you’re here, it is probably because you’re in the thick of life and most days can barely keep your head above water. Life is a lot. Like a lot a lot and more often than not, our homes exacerbate our stress and unrest. Houses can clutter easily and they don’t magically transform into the homes of our dreams overnight.

Houses can be a major source of discontent as it is all too easy to compare where you live to the places you see online. I know. Trust me. I actually began my page because I was watching one of my very favorite designers complain about a space they “had” to work with.

Here’s the story —

I’m a real sucker for all things HGTV and one of my favorite designers was sharing their plans for a current project. While sharing, the designer remarked how the “12 foot ceilings made things a real challenge”. The crux of their issue was the 12-foot ceiling height being too low.

There I sat, deflated, in my 8-foot ceiling living room. Before seeing this clip, I was so excited. We had just bought our second home. We lived with my in-laws for 2 years to pinch pennies and save up and we did it! We did the darn thing of buying a home - a place to call ours - and in one comment, I felt like it wasn’t enough.

So, hi. I’m Kristine. I know life is expensive and hard and just unfair sometimes but I believe everyone deserves to be comfy, cozy, and most importantly, (at the very least) content exactly where they are. I’m on a mission to turn whatever space I have whether it be our 1,000 sq. ft starter home, my in-law’s basement, or our current house - into the home of my current dreams. And you can, too.
