Home + Hems began with a home, a camera, and a creative vision.

I’m Katie, the founder and creative behind Home + Hems. Based in Minnesota with my husband and our four sweet kiddos—Estelle, Aiden, Calin, our little guardian angel, and Stetson—I’ve always believed that home is more than what surrounds us. It’s where life unfolds, memories are made, and the everyday becomes meaningful.

In 2018, Home + Hems began as an Instagram page documenting the renovation of our first home. What started as a creative outlet quickly became a place to share the spaces, details, and pieces I loved most. Over time, that little corner of the internet evolved into something much more.

I’ve always carried a deep love for design and a desire to create. As Home + Hems grew, so did the pull to turn that creativity into something tangible—to thoughtfully curate beautiful pieces, share inspiration, and help others create homes that feel both elevated and deeply personal.

Today, Home + Hems is a reflection of that vision.

Here, you’ll find thoughtfully curated home goods chosen for their beauty, character, and timeless appeal, along with inspiration from our own home and everyday life. Through our design services, I also have the privilege of helping clients bring their own spaces to life—from the smallest details to complete transformations.

My approach to design is rooted in the belief that a beautiful home doesn’t have to feel perfect. It should feel collected, considered, and uniquely yours—with pieces that tell a story and spaces designed to be lived in.

I’m so grateful you’ve found your way here. Thank you for being part of Home + Hems and for supporting this dream I’ve poured so much heart into.
