I’m gonna have to change my name from Flippin blonde to pig pen 😂💅🏻🥂👠🙌👀👀👀👀

I went into an old barn hunting for 1800s doors and windows, fully aware that 6–10-foot black snakes might already consider it home. 😂

Did I turn around and leave?

Absolutely not.

A gentleman had told me about some old doors and windows tucked away in a barn on his family farm in Southeast Ohio. They had been removed from the original farmhouse, built in the 1800s.

Obviously, I had to see them.

Now, I grew up in Southeast Ohio. I KNOW what lives in old barns. A barn full of hay and mice is basically a black snake’s version of an all-inclusive resort. 🐍

So I put on my brave face, climbed onto a half-full hay wagon that clearly hadn’t been disturbed by a human in a VERY long time, crawled across it, climbed down the other side, squeezed through a dark corridor with no lights…and eventually made it into the room where all the “treasure” was hiding.

Was the treasure quite as spectacular as I imagined?

Not exactly. 😂

Was the adventure worth it?

100%.

There IS some beautiful old stained glass that I think I’m going back for, and the antique doorknobs on those old doors are pretty fabulous.

Getting them out, however, is going to require a partner.

And I already know it won’t be Susan Mancini Taggart🤣

Standing in that old barn and looking up into the haylofts took me straight back to childhood, when my friend Colleen Lindsey and I used to play in her grandpa’s barn. There may have been an incident involving a hayloft and a broken arm…

But as I said at the end of the video:

I PROMISE we never jumped out of any haylofts AND broke any arms. 🤞😂

Some treasure hunts are about what you find.

Others are just about the story you get to tell afterward.

This one was definitely both. ❤️

🥂That was the inspiration behind the primary bedroom at Ivy Place.

By carving out a circular bed alcove, this room feels tucked away in its own little retreat. It’s the kind of space that makes you want to curl up with a good book, sleep in just a little longer, and forget about the outside world.

I love designing rooms that surprise people. Instead of another ordinary bedroom, this one wraps around you and creates a feeling that’s hard to describe until you’re standing in it.

Sometimes the best part of a home isn’t the square footage—it’s the feeling it gives you.

Would you sleep in a cozy little cave like this? 🏡✨

🩷 One of my favorite features at Ivy Place has to be the secret doors.
They’re not just there to be fun (although they definitely are 😉)—they were designed with purpose.
One hidden door leads to the bathroom, where the sink and vanity are actually located in the hallway. That means if someone is taking a shower, someone else can still brush their teeth, do their makeup, or get ready without waiting. It’s one of those little design decisions that makes everyday life so much easier.
The second secret door opens into a room that’s currently set up as the laundry room. Since I also installed washer and dryer hookups in the basement, the future owner gets to decide what works best for them. Need an upstairs laundry? It’s ready. Prefer the laundry downstairs? Then this space instantly becomes another bedroom.
I love designing homes that are full of surprises, but even more, I love creating spaces that are flexible enough to adapt to the people who live in them.
Secret doors… practical design… and a little bit of magic. That’s the Cottage at Ivy Place. 💙✨

This room feels like stepping into a storybook. It has just the right touch of Frozen princess magic, while the soft icy blue with its gentle gray undertone creates that classic, illustrated fairytale feel.
My favorite part? The bubble lights. They look like someone climbed into bed, made a wish, and blew bubbles that decided to float forever. 🫧
One of the things I love most about this room is that it’s completely gender-neutral. It can be a dreamy princess retreat, an imaginative adventure room, or simply a peaceful place to unwind. The color grows with a child instead of feeling tied to one theme, making it just as timeless as it is magical.
Sometimes a room doesn’t need to shout. It just needs to make you smile the moment you walk through the door.
Welcome to the Frozen Bubbles Bedroom. 💙✨

Lincoln became President & The Farmhouse was Built in 1860 when Plain Township was still open farmland, The Farmhouse stood watch over generations of Stark County history. Long before subdivisions, paved roads, and shopping centers, the house served as the heart of a working farm. Through the Civil War, the rise of Canton industry, the birth of professional football, and the transformation of farmland into neighborhoods, the old farmhouse endured. Today it begins a new chapter as The Farmhouse —a restored historic home where old stories meet new magic….
