WE WANT YOU TO LOVE YOUR HOME

Katie, or Kate, as her family knows her, grew up in a small town in New Jersey. Her parents, (Huggie and Poppie to her own three children) bought her childhood home - an old, used-to-be barn - when she was just two years old. Over the next 35 years, she watched her parents transform that run-down barn into the warmest, sweetest, most welcoming home that ever could be, thanks to her dad’s skills and confidence and her mom’s love and vision.

Kate dreamed of owning a home of her own like this one day, and personalizing it with all of the wonderful touches that she and her family could dream up together. After purchasing and renovating her first home and then most recently building a modern craftsman-style farmhouse, Kate’s love of design and custom furniture grew into a favorite pastime, made more special when Poppie could be involved. A man of few words, Poppie loves to keep busy in his workshop, and he and Kate, through woodworking and creating treasured pieces of furniture together, have built an unspoken and unwavering bond. Their work soon attracted a following, and Poppie & Kate was born. 

Today, Kate resides in Gilbert, AZ with her husband, John, and their three children, Joey, Ellie, and Charlie. She takes so much pride in her house full of pieces that she and her dad created together; a space that she hopes is almost as warm and sweet as the old barn in New Jersey that she and her kids still think of as home.
