Chic Peek with Carrie Henderson

October 17, 2022

I am so excited to bring you all another great home tour. This time, we have a Chic Peek into the home of Carrie Henderson. Carrie was not only the designer of this home, but impressively the builder as well. With four children, she skillfully thought of a functional and sophisticated layout that would work for her darling young family. I listened and looked in awe as Carrie explained how she built furniture, painted artwork, and more. I was truly inspired touring this home, and hope you will be too!
