Taryn Kilty Design

I know I’m not supposed to pick favorites, but this little reading nook in our bedroom is one of my favorite corners of our home 🤎

Touring historical homes is an interior designer’s dream.

I’ve always been such a big lover of traditional design, but house hunting in Upstate New York has truly changed me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The wide plank scuffed wood floors, the original brick, the crown moulding. Every single was so thoughtfully considered, chosen, and created. You can see the level of craftsmanship and physical labor that went into each detail, and it will never get old.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The little details really matter, and it lights me up seeing all of these homes where their owners clearly felt the same, all those years ago 🥹

Art has always been one of the hardest decisions for me when it comes to design.

Sure, you can go to Target and find some beautiful pieces, but at the end of the day, if it doesn’t mean something to you, what’s the point?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Curating a home that feels authentic to you takes time, and that’s okay! 🤎

I stumbled across these gorgeous little works recently and I couldn’t be more obsessed. Aren’t they so darling?

I love how personal experience so deeply shapes the way we live and how we design our homes.

I have many fond childhood memories of sleepovers with my friends … The late night giggles, board games, cutting out pieces of magazines, I look back on all of it with such joy. So, as I was designing our bonus room space, I knew I wanted to create the same opportunity for our children to make their own memories 🥹

This space is coming along so well I can’t wait to show you guys the finished product! 🤎
