Karin Usipuik

Growing up, my mom had this little needlepoint that hung on our kitchen wall. It had a quote that has stayed with me and one that I think about so often as I’ve created this online space:

“To have a friend, Be one.”

As a realtor since 2005, I’ve been able to see many different homes & decor styles over the years and this has given me an even deeper perspective and real life examples of how intentional mindsets can truly bring any home to life.

On the personal side I love community and connection and my goal for this space beyond home decor, bad hair days and tablescapes is to make connections. I know that more than anything these days, people have a real desire to make genuine connections. So, grab a cozy blanket and a hot coffee and let’s get connected!

Melissa Coulter

Karin & Melissa met on Instagram where an online friendship grew into a real life friendship when Melissa & her family were posted to the Comox Valley. Instant real life friends, Karin & Melissa soon took the next step when Melissa joined Karin as administrator of @kindredhomes_ & working alongside Karin with creative projects for the blog!
