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…

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…

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…

BIG Landscaping Update – Phase 2 Is Done And Our “Mistake” Is Finally Fixed!
I can’t tell you how happy I was to fix our own HUGE mistake – 1/3 of the sports court is now gone in favor of a lot of greenery, flagstone, picnic tables, and trees. We hired Dennis’ 7Dees to design and execute, and it went SO WELL. Started in February and done by late…

How We Made Vintage-Inspired Corbels For The Outdoor Kitchen Gazebo
As I was designing this “kitchen gazebo,” I found almost no inspiration that looked and functioned like I wanted ours to look/feel. They were mostly big boxy McMansion-looking Texas-style structures or hexagonal sweet old timey gazebos, but I found almost no images of rectangular covered structures that looked charming and pretty. So I knew that…

Let’s Deep Dive Into Our Outdoor Kitchen Appliances (+ What Brian And I Didn’t Agree On At First And I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!)
While you saw the full reveal of the kitchen this Monday, today I want to walk you through the Coyote appliances which help me make my corn on the cob, house all my salad mixings, and of course, help Brian Henderson make his epic smash burgers (and steaks and chickens and rotisserie and kebabs –…
