Hey There!
I'm Katherine Krehbiel, the lady behind Not a Humble Home (NAHH).
I started Not a Humble Home to bring joy back to interiors and minimize the waste rapidly accumulating from the fast design industry. I believe in designing for the space you have and lifestyle you lead and appreciate the challenge of changing the mood of your home without a gut job. I also think we deserve to be surrounded by objects that make us smile.
My appreciation for unique, second hand living runs deep. My mom was a realtor and home rehabber in Charleston who renovated with an eye towards the character, history and functionality of a home rather than renovating to trends. Her mom started her own business selling antiques in New Jersey.
The homes I grew up in were full of warmth and character, achieved on the budget of a single parent. The chippy cabinet found on the side of the road that housed our TV, the tomato red sink added because a kitchen renovation was out of the question but more charm was needed, a tree hand-painted by my grandma in my childhood bedroom. I always saw value in making a space your own and creating magic regardless of your budget.
Not a Humble Home is here to help others bring magic to their homes through unique furnishings and creative design. I hope that we can collaborate.
Thanks for stopping by!
