Kelsey GroseFounder and Lead Designer of Farmer’s Daughter Interiors, decided to make a fresh start with a familiar palette. Her husband Shayne and their children, Cyrus and Wyndsor, moved to a farm on the outskirts of a small village near Swift Current, Canada last year when the opportunity arose to return.
“It was my grandmother’s yard and house,” she says. “My dad grew up here and I spent a lot of time here as a kid. The house was rented out before we made the unexpected decision to move. The large lawn, with its raspberry bushes and large open space, is ideal for a young family, who also have two cats named Boots and Lola “and a new baby kitten that our son calls ‘little Marshall,'” says Kelsey. The house itself creates a warm scene for privacy and creativity .
“It’s located about 25 minutes south of our design studio and store, but it’s easy to drive to work, and I don’t mind commuting to relax at the end of the day,” she says. “The neighborhood is beautiful, with mature trees and manicured areas lining the road, and the community is a mix of everything from young families to retired couples.”
The kitchen hadn’t been updated since the 1960s, when Kelsey’s grandmother had the final say on the plans. And now that it was her turn to take the reins, Kelsey wanted to honor that mid-century style, lean into their farmhouse surroundings, and continue to hone her skills as a designer with a distinct eye.

The front: “The kitchen was quirky and needed some work to make it more functional. We considered moving in with the original kitchen, but in the end, I’m glad we updated it,” Kelsey says. “The house is not big but it suits our family well for now in terms of rooms. I had to downsize my wardrobe drastically to fit in the smaller closet, but I felt better once I did!
