Emily Henderson’s FULL Farmhouse Property Tour
—
by
Well, summer 2025 is almost a wrap, and we used the heck out of the yard since we finished in spring. It’s a pretty ridiculous property at this point. We know how lucky we are, and it feels most like the home we always dreamt of (when we lived in NY and LA) when there…

All Your Burning Questions, Answered
A few people keep asking the same questions about this project, which made me realize that I don’t think I’ve talked about them. Maybe this project came out of nowhere, like, there is another house on the property? A guest cottage?? So it seems like all the whats, who for, whys, and hows (and how…

How We Built Our Pickleball Court
I definitely didn’t envision a pickleball court here when we bought the property 4 1/2 years ago. Sure, I knew we’d make improvements to the broken tennis court we inherited, but I don’t think I had even heard of this “pickleball” then (now the #1 growing sport and so much fun, TBH). The whole thing…

What’s Wrong With Our Guest Cottage
Ok, first off, yes, I think we are calling it The Guest Cottage now. Too many people were confused about “carriage house”, wondering where this is, why it is, what it is – and everyone gets “guest cottage,” aka on our property, but not where we live, and she is old. As a reminder, we…

DIYing The OG “Homestead” – The Carriage House Exterior “Before” Tour
When we first found the property/homestead we fell in LOVE with this 1850s carriage house but as the renovation of our house and yard went on and on (with all the financial stress that goes along with it) we went from our “We’ll have projects forever!” enthusiasm to “Omg…we are going to have have projects…forever”…

The First Tour Inside Our 1850s Carriage House – Let The Restoration Begin!!!!!
When we first found our farm property in 2019, I knew that our main house (that we now live in) had a ton of potential to be beautiful and the perfect place to raise our family, but this house, this is the one that my heart screamed for from day one. Today you’ll see why,…

Our 2025 Summer Landscaping Reveal (With Full Process)
I’m currently caught in the “why would anyone live anywhere else” fever dream that is “Oregon in The Summer”, and while I intellectually know there is no perfect place to live, right now, up here, it’s magical (and has been since March – 2025 was a real pretty one). This backyard is certainly serving up…

How We Made Our Old House Charming Again – A Front Of House Tour
The other day I realized I’ve never shown you the full front of the house – nor did you get the play-by-play of the 10 million decisions we made to get here (a huge shout-out to ARCIFORM – my goodness, do they know how to nail classic design so well). Every time I drive up,…

My New Prop Garage Reveal – Including IKEA Shelving (Non-Spon) And A Lot Of Vintage Collections
I am a new person. Transformed! The fact that there aren’t more before/after shows for the “chronically disorganized” (me!) is a real missed TV opportunity. Now, I do give myself grace because the amount of stuff one has to have to do this job, run this company, and create so much design content so frequently…

We Found The Best Garage Doors Ever – See For Yourself
I never thought I’d be this excited to show you the prettiest garage doors ever. When we finally agreed to invest in making our garages better, our goal was to make them functional, but we had very low expectations on how beautiful they would be. Our garages aren’t on a street where neighbors can see…
