our story

A Studio Rooted in Nature

Cottage in the Pines grew out of a lifelong love of nature, plants, crafting, and cottage-style living. The studio sits beneath tall Central Florida pines, where plants are propagated, pinecones are gathered, and décor is curated with intention.

The name is a playful nod to the childhood classics I loved—Little House in the Big Woods, Little House on the Prairie—and the home design inspirations that shaped me, from This Old House to Martha Stewart Living.

Cottage in the Pines blends nostalgia, modern homesteading, creativity, and the joy of making simple, beautiful things at home.

What We Believe

  • Homes should feel warm, collected, and meaningful.
  • Plants bring grounding and joy.
  • Thrifted items deserve new stories.
  • Nature is the best designer.
  • Creativity thrives in simple materials: pinecones, jars, wood scraps, seeds, fabric, and found objects.
