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 ✨

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 🎨

I wish I could say I’m the kind of person who creates one cozy corner and peacefully enjoys it forever…

…but unfortunately I am someone who sees one room thriving and immediately thinks, “What if another room felt this loved too?” 🫠

So yes — something had to be dismantled in the name of ✨emotional support décor✨

If you also rearrange your house like it’s a living organism with needs… you’re my people.

It started with a few seed packets…then a couple raised beds…then suddenly I’m googling greenhouse plans at midnight like this is a completely reasonable progression. 🙃🌿

Two years ago I could barely keep herbs alive.

Now I’m fully committed to my greenhouse girl era and acting like this was always part of the plan.

Moral of the story: be careful what hobbies you pick up… they might turn into full-blown personality traits. 🤍

Tell me I’m not the only one who went from “just trying something new” to “rearranging my entire life around it.” 👀

If this felt aggressively specific… I have a feeling we’d get along. 🤍

Aldi runs, antique runs, early bedtimes, abandoned sourdough dreams, and zero chill once we decide we want something.

If that’s your personality too … welcome. You’re my kind of people. 🏡

The paint color of our primary bedroom is one that I think I will forever get asked about …. And it’s easy to see why! It’s the most gorgeous, most versatile shade of blue!

LIGHT BLUE by Farrow & Ball

We just painted our back entryway in this color and I am so obsessed with it! Stay tuned for that reveal happening soon!

And SAVE this post for the future!!

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.

At one point last year I looked at our headboard and thought… this cannot stay. 😅

After years of use (kids climbing into bed, morning coffee spills, everyday life), the fabric had officially crossed into the “this is kind of gross” category.

So I started hunting for a replacement. What I really wanted was a patterned headboard with a little character. But every option I loved was way out of our price range.

Then I realized I already had a fabric I couldn’t stop thinking about. A pattern I’d been using in our dining room for years and loved more every time I pulled it out.

So instead of buying a new bed, we reupholstered the one we had… using a tablecloth.

And because it’s linen, the more it’s washed and lived with, the softer it becomes over time.

Comment SHOP to get this tablecloth sent to your DMs!

And save this post if you’ve ever considered giving a piece of furniture a second life. 🤍

A question we get quite often: what are the dimensions of your dining room recessed paneling?

We added this recessed paneling to our dining room in 2024 in an effort to give this space more depth and add additional charm.

It was a beautiful room before but this wall feature took it to the next level!

You can visit the blog to get exact dimensions for this space and learn more about how we achieved this timeless look! LINK IN BIO!

Found the cutest little stool ❤️

Timeless corners will always have my heart 🤍
A simple stack of books, a soft lamp glow, and pieces that feel collected over time—this is the kind of styling that never goes out of style.

A few Easter decor favorites that feel simple, soft, and timeless 🐇🌸 Think neutral bunnies, delicate florals, and pieces that blend right into everyday spring decor. Sharing some beautiful finds if you’re adding a little Easter touch around the house.

#LTKBeauty

A little “in my cart” roundup today 🛍️ These are the pieces I’m currently eyeing for spring—timeless basics, elevated neutrals, and a few fun finds I keep coming back to. Saving them here in case you’re browsing too!

#LTKBeauty

Spring break but winter weather! Staying busy with my crew!

#LTKHome

One thing I’ve learned while renovating our 1920s home… the magic is in the layers.

Architectural details add character, but the paint color is often what sets the entire mood of the room.

For those who asked, here are the colors featured in this reel:

The Pink Room— Just Rosy by Pittsburgh Paints
Bedroom — Light Blue by Farrow & Ball
Dining Room — White Dove by Benjamin Moore

Three very different colors, but each one helps highlight the character of these spaces in its own way.

Save this post if you’re collecting timeless paint colors for an older home.

Which one would you choose?
