We’re Peggy and Wayne, the husband-and-wife team behind Gardenhouse Studio. Together, we bring vintage charm and practical know-how to everything from home renovations to handmade decor.

Gardenhouse Studio began in 2012 as a small-town flower shop with an antique soul. Over time, it evolved into a creative studio where French Country decorating, DIY projects, and timeless style take center stage. With Wayne’s skills as a finish carpenter and my background in sewing and styling, we’ve built a life—and a business—rooted in tradition and hands-on creativity.

Today, Gardenhouse Studio is home to:

• This decorating blog focusing on French Country style, Gardening and seasonal home inspiration
• Our DIY tutorials for upcycled furniture, vintage crafts, and home & garden decor
• A fully-equipped home decor workroom, where I design custom pillows, slipcovers, and soft furnishings for real homes
• And a curated collection of affiliate finds that help you bring it all together without breaking the bank

In 2023, we stepped away from retail and focused on teaching, sharing, and creating affiliate content to inspire others to create homes that feel personal and lived-in. Today, you’ll find decorating ideas, simple DIY projects, garden inspiration, and classic recipes—plus our favorite tools and encounters along the way.

We believe in honoring the past, working with your hands, and creating a home that tells your story. Thanks for stopping by. Everything we share is grounded in real experience—no fluff, no trends, just beautiful, doable projects that help you make your house feel like home.

We’re so glad you’re here.
