Where It All Started: A Story of This Old Barn

The moment my husband, Alex, and I rolled down the gravel driveway towards our new property, we sensed an ineffable magic lingering in the air, though its true nature eluded us. While many women might have focused on the house itself—its rooms and amenities—I found my gaze captivated by a distant silhouette: an old barn that beckoned me to it with promise. 

As I stepped inside, I was unprepared for the revelation that awaited. There, dominating the expanse, stood a majestic stone fireplace. An imposing centerpiece that echoed whispers of warmth and gathering. The heaps of debris that cluttered the floor and suffocated the space, quickly faded away against this striking backdrop. In that moment, I knew I had discovered my sanctuary—a studio space that would be the heart of my creative journey. This was no ordinary find; it was the crown jewel I had been searching for, a hidden treasure amidst the chaos.
