About Us

Hi! We are Cristy & Michael. We didn’t set out to become this.

No plan. No experience. No real idea what we were doing.

Just two people standing in front of an abandoned 1800’s home, choosing to believe we could bring it back to life.

Somewhere along the way, it stopped being a project and became our life’s work.

The Iron Victorian is where old meets new in a way that feels lived in, not perfect. It is peeling back layers, honoring what was, and making space for what is. It is early mornings with coffee in hand, kids in our laps, and a house that has more stories left to tell than we ever finish.

We are not experts. No design degree. No formal training. Just learning as we go, one room, one garden bed, one idea at a time.

Because the best homes are not built on perfection. They are built on patience, creativity, and a little bit of courage to start before you feel ready.
