Jesi and Ryan Haack are a dynamic duo of creativity, sharing a loving home with their two sons Jonah and Maverick. Each room has a DIY charm, with great thrift store finds and handmade decorations. Finding out that Jesi is a stylist for weddings and photo shoots, it was fun to see her put her stamp on her own home.

Last week we saw a tour of the Haack’s office and their home is yet another perfect example of their same welcoming style. I love the subtle tones throughout each room, with pops of color here and there. Throughout you can see bits of their eclectic collection of contemporary furniture and vintage or thrifted accessories. All in all, this a great, uncluttered home that makes the most of the space and is filled with a very friendly, happy, young vibe.

Apartment Therapy Survey:

Our Style: Modern eclectic thrift

Inspiration: Weird stuff from thrift stores

Favorite Element: I am in love with our rooster lamp ☺

Biggest Challenge: Working with the tight space…making it functional, yet look really cool.

What Friends Say: They all love all of the different design details brought in throughout the house.

Biggest Embarrassment: How old and dirty the black and white floors are!

Proudest DIY: The backyard. It was a hot mess when we moved in, and Ryan transformed it into a functional, garden setting with café lighting overhead. I love setting up a projector, eating dinner and watching a movie on the side of the house on a summer eve ☺

Biggest Indulgence: Landscaping materials.

Best Advice: Keep your main palette neutral and accent with pops of pattern and color.
