I usually like to wrap things up into a pretty, aesthetic video. But sometimes you just have to be real real… the kind of real where you strip away the polish and show what it actually looked like along the way.

The Pink Room, as it’s now known, wasn’t always pink. It went through so many versions before I ever landed here. And the craziest part? I almost painted over this color after the first coat because I didn’t think I liked it.

That’s the honest truth. And it’s also proof that sometimes the best thing you can do with a design choice is sit with it for a minute. Let it settle. Let it show you who it’s going to be.

This greenhouse has been two years in the making. What began as a dream… and a whole lot of planning and rough sketches… is finally taking shape, and I can hardly believe it.

It’s so special to see something that once lived only on paper become a real space we get to enjoy.

Would you like a little tour of the greenhouse? I’d love to share the design details and the vision behind it.

And for my garden experts… what should I plant in here first this spring? 🌿

The items you all couldn’t stop loving this week ✨
Sharing the standout favorites.

Hi there! I’m Tessa! And over the last 8 years of living in this 1920a craftsman home I have slowly begun to let go of all the things I thought my life should include and begun embracing the things right in front of me: a small kitchen, an old home, a rural town, and a heritage home.

If you’re new here…welcome! I hope you’ll stick around! drop of 💛 below if you’re new!

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.

The kind of recipe that feels fancy but is secretly so simple… in true Slow Supper fashion.

This beef tenderloin has become one of our go-to “special but not stressful” dinners. I usually make it with two beef tenderloins, because leftovers never last long in this house.

The marinade is what makes it magic:
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
½ cup pickled jalapeño brine (mine is homemade from our garden jalapeños 🌶️)
½ teaspoon black pepper (or cracked whole pepper)
½ stick of butter

Bold, buttery, just a little spicy, and so incredibly rich.

Now for how I get that crispy outside with a melt-in-your-mouth center every single time. After years of trial and error, cast iron is the answer. I heat my skillet over medium-high with 3 tablespoons of butter, sear the tenderloins for 5 minutes per side until deeply golden (about 20 minutes total), then slide the whole pan into a 350° oven for 10 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and you’ll have the juiciest, most tender beef every time.

And this is where Slow Supper comes in. It doesn’t always mean crockpot meals. Sometimes it simply means slowing down long enough to make food that feels comforting, intentional, and nourishing for your family… meals that say we’re here, together, at the table.

The final touch for this one is my pickled jalapeño sour cream. It’s the icing on the cake for this dish. If you want to see how I make it, comment “CREAM” below and I’ll share it next 🤍 and don’t forget to SAVE this recipe so you can show off at your next dinner gathering 😜

I don’t begin to understand how he understands me 🤣😜 but somehow…he makes my dreams come true every single time 🥹🤩

We’ve officially started renovating the gym bathroom. And if you’re thinking, wait…what gym? Two years ago we bought a building in our small town and have been slowly renovating it ever since (emphasis on slowly 😉). One of the smaller rooms became our personal gym space 💪🏼 but the bathroom was never fully finished.

So follow along as we turn this space into a heritage-inspired WC 🤍 It’ll be a long, layered project, but we’re excited to finally begin and bring you along for the progress.

First up…wainscoting 🙌🏽 If you’ve been here a while, you know my love for traditional millwork runs deep. This is where we’re starting and I’ll be sharing total material costs along the way, too. Coming soon ✨

Over the years, I’m always asked about our trim…

Is it original?
What paint did you use?
What stain matches it best?

The trim in our home is original to our 1920s Craftsman, but if you’re trying to recreate that same timeless, traditional look, the closest match we’ve found is Early American by Minwax.

It’s warm, classic, and has that old-home depth that never feels trendy.

Save this for future reference if you love rich, character-filled trim 🤎
