About

Hi!  I’m Katie Jane and the writer behind Katie Jane Interiors.

For the past decade I have lived in two worlds.  By day I was a new home consultant and interior designer for a home builder in the Fox Valley.

But every night I went home to the opposite.  A sometimes chaotic remodel of a 100-year old farmhouse, in the middle of the country, with a history we keep learning more and more about.

These days we are wrapping up our remodel and making major life changes!

I share in these adventures of home ownership with my husband and co-dreamer, Nick, our dog and cat (and whatever seasonal creature takes up residence in our barn).

Each month I will add posts about new trends in home design, a little DIY, the transformation of our farmhouse remodel and the occasional essay from the heart on life and family.

Thanks for joining me.

I’m honored you’re here!
