A Farmhouse Filled With Unique Projects

There's never a dull moment for Stacy, a stay-at-home mom, and Jonathan Anderstrom, owner of a Web design and development company—and that's not just because they have four young kids (Makenzie, 7, Jadon, 6, Jack, 2, and Elijah, 1). "I'm constantly coming up with little DIY projects to put around the house," says Stacy. I've been painting, drawing and building things since I was a kid and now, with a house to fill, I feel like I can just go on and on."

When the Anderstroms bought their 1998 farmhouse in 2009, it was in good shape but a little bland. "I knew Stacy could turn it into a one-of-a-kind home," says Jonathan. For the past four years, she's spent nap times and evenings adding creative personal touches — vintage lockers here, pom-pom fringed curtains there — and she's not done yet. "If I see something unusual and I love it, I buy it!" says Stacy.
