Hi I’m Karin!

Wife, Mom of 4, homebody and tablescape lover. Also, a Realtor since 2005 where I love helping Buyers and Sellers achieve their Real Estate dreams. Be sure to check out my Real Estate section if you are here to connect with me on a professional level.

On the personal side I love community and connection and my goal for this space beyond home decor, bad hair days and tablescapes is to make connections. I know that more than anything these days, people have a real desire to make genuine connections. So, grab a cozy blanket and a hot coffee and let’s get connected!

Growing up, my mom had this little needlepoint that hung on our kitchen wall. It had a quote that has stayed with me and one that I think about so often as I’ve created this online space.

To have a friend, Be one

After > Before You guys! I still can’t believe After > Before

You guys! I still can’t believe we tackled this project in 2 days! I also can’t believe this girl used her 💪🏻. I think I even surprised Dion ha!

Now that we have this project under our belt I feel like we could do anything ✌🏻. I also think DIY projects could be a good workout strategy 💪🏻🏋️. 

My take away from this experience? Please please please don’t glue down floors on concrete. It’s not fun to scrape off ✌🏻

The winter texture has been replaced with lighter, Spring throws and pillows.  This season I’m leaning in to creams, beiges, and muted peachy tones.  Start with a solid base and work from there.

For me, my base comes from our AIM Sectional from @kavuus and I’ve partnered with Kavuus to give you $500 towards a custom sofa or sectional.

Let’s hope these latest restrictions only last a few weeks.  Until then, I’ll create beauty and make lemonade out of the lemons 🍋 (sidenote: Mila was really confused with that statement...I tried to explain what it meant but she was simply stuck on needing a glass of lemonade 👧🏻)

Meet My Amazing Team


Melissa | @goldandginger
As Creative and Administrative assistant, Melissa is behind the scenes using her top notch organizational skills to keep me organized. Melissa is wife, mama of 2 littles and also enjoys creating a home that is comfortable, organized and functional. Melissa balances my big audacious ideas with clear and consistent ways to carry them out. I’m so thankful to have Melissa on the team!
The Family
We’re the Usipuiks. A family of 6 + our 2 fur babies (Tessa and Aussie). My husband Dion and I met as teens, and had our first baby (Tianna) not long after  at the ages of 16 and 19. We got married 2 years later and shortly after welcomed our next daughter (Shayna) into the family.  In 2004 we became a “party of five” when our son (Evan) joined the team!
In January of 2017 it turned out we weren’t done growing our “dream team” and we welcomed baby number 4 (Mila) to our family and she’s been the perfect final piece to our puzzle!
