Making it in the Mountains

home. made. lovely.

Welcome to our new/old home

This old house has always held a special place in our hearts. Not only is it a beautiful tudor style home, with loads of charm & character, but it’s filled to the brim with happy memories for our family, dating all the way back to 1988!

You won’t want to miss the incredible story behind this old house & how we unexpectedly found ourselves calling it home once again (it’s honestly SO magical!). And of course, take a tour of it all to see just what we’ve gotten ourselves into here (that RED bathroom is certainly something). As rough as it looks right now, we are so excited to have the opportunity to bring this character filled home back to life!

Welcome!

Hello!
I'm Kristi and I'm just SO happy your here!

🏡 We recently moved into my husband's childhood home and we cannot wait to bring this charming tudor back to life! Creating a cozy + collected home takes time, but we truly believe the journey is half the fun. Follow along as we turn this new/old home into the cozy tudor cottage of our dreams, one DIY project at a time.
