Hi! I’m Michelle, the face behind the Acorn Hill Home Blog! I am New England born and raised and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I love the seasons (fall being my favorite) and have been an animal lover my whole life. I was an Animal Science major in college later going on to get my M.B.A and turning my education into a dream job – Project Manager for a major pet food company! I still work full time while sharing my home decor adventures with all of you. I am also a published fantasy author with two books currently out, When Storms Awaken and When Storms Ruin. I bought my first home in April 2020 and it was a fixer upper needing a major overhaul. The remodel was one of the most rewarding projects I have ever worked on!
I have always been drawn to the modern farmhouse/modern cottage style being a farm girl myself. I started riding horses at the age of 6 and have been obsessed ever since! I grew up in a log cabin that my parents built and moved to a big white traditional farmhouse just before junior high. This home majorly inspired my design aesthetic with its sprawling lawn and wrap around front porch. While I love the new build modern farmhouses, I love the character of older homes and all of the unique elements that come with it. I share the Acorn Hill Home with my fur children Kiwi & Peach (Ragdolls) and Kasha (DSH) I adopted in 2018.
My passions include home decor, DIY, baking, cooking, animals, horseback riding, makeup, writing and reading so you can expect to see a little of everything here!
