If you’re anything like me, your house is your most prized possession.
It’s a place where you spend time with your family, host your favorite friends and loved ones, and your go-to spot to snuggle up in your favorite should-have-gotten-rid-of-this-years-ago t-shirt.
Your home is a place where you and your family find comfort when life gets to be a little too much to handle.
Similar to the forts you made as a kid, this is a place of your own creation, but now you have more space… and you can keep it up all year round!
Aww yeah!
But it’s not all fun and games because creating a homier home can be a daunting task.
We all want to achieve those specific “feels” for our own family and guests to experience upon their arrival.
But, how do we get feelings to translate to spaces?
No fear, Christin is here!
My mission at My Homier Home is to help you become a confident DIY decorator to create a cohesive home to enhance your daily life.
The heart of your family lives at home and shifting focus to the purpose your home serves for your family can open the doors to ensuring you get those feels you so desire.
Creating a cohesive, more homier home will be the best thing you ever did for your family, but also for yourself… and I’m going to help you get there!
the who and how of my homier home
Hi! I’m Christin!
I am married to my main squeeze, Chris, of whom I’ve known since I was 14.
We have two beautiful babies we didn’t think we could have plus a fur baby, Lambeau, who loves to pose for all the pictures.
And of course, I have zero family photos of us at the moment, but we did get my entire family together, parents, sister, brother, Chris, me, the kids, and Lambeau in our front room this past summer.
It was the first time we were all together in over two years. Can you believe we got everyone to look at no one? 😂 Yup, I took this photo with my DSLR and a handy remote in my hand. #onetimedeal
As a home decorating consultant and former high school math teacher, I have the unique opportunity to combine my passions here with My Homier Home, but first let me tell you a little bit about how this all got started.
My husband was promoted in 2015 which led us to a huge move from the Chicago ‘burbs to the Indianapolis ‘burbs.
Our new home was double the size of our old one and not really a “move-in ready” by my standards, so I decided to document our progress in February of 2017… riiigghhhht about the time I had had enough of the lackluster vibes our home was emitting.
You can see my obsession to make this home more, well, homey based on these before photos…
Before Photos
Pretty rough, right? I was dealing with either boring paint color choices or an overbearing amount of color – a true lose, lose. But, since I’m someone who believes anything is possible I got to work.
Fast forward seven years and we’ve {almost} completely transformed our home using a simple, repeatable system I created and honed that I’ve now deemed the C.O.N.F.I.D.E.N.T. method.
It was a total game changer for me that allowed me the freedom to do away with the overwhelming nature of (re)decorating and, instead, bring back the joy of creating a home that flows one room to the next.
After Photos
When I was first getting started and using my math skills to come up with a problem solving technique 🤓, the confidence I had kept growing and growing with every room makeover.
It felt so good at the end of each day that I knew I had to share the wealth of knowledge I discovered. And let’s be clear, as hard as it was to combine our styles, I’m here to tell you it can be done, including all the feels and function too! (Check out the full home tour here)
The fun part is now every time I complete a project in my home, I share literally everything I learn with you in hopes to save you time, energy, and frustration. You can check out the full scope of all the after photos here:
Psst… join me over on Instagram for exclusive behind-the-scenes access to all my DIY decorating projects.
We are slowly running out of rooms to rescue, but we have finally reached a place where our home feels cohesive, homier and uniquely ours… and you can, too!
All the goods
Now before I set you on your way to explore, the teacher in me can’t help, but share all the helpful tools and guides I can to make this process easier and more fun.
Naturally, we all might not be at the same stage of the journey, so I wanted to make sure you knew right off the bat what kind of helpful resources you have access to here at My Homier Home.
