About Boutique Barn

Handcrafted rustic home decor inspired by nature.

Meet the Maker

Hello friends! I'm Christy, and I'm so happy you're here.

In my handmade shop, I create unique home decor designed to bring a little rustic charm and a touch of whimsy into your home. Much of my inspiration comes from nature and the idea of bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. I love working with natural textures and materials that begin in nature and become something special for your home.

How It All Began

My creative journey began with wood-burning artwork on reclaimed wood. The warm brown tones in my designs are created using pyrography—often called “drawing with fire.” Using wood-burning tools, I hand draw each design directly into the wood. Reclaimed boards already carry years of character from the outdoor elements, and the artwork highlights that natural history while transforming the wood into rustic wall decor.

Later, I discovered the beauty and versatility of dried gourds, and it was love at first sight. Once dried, gourd shells become very strong, making them perfect for carving and wood-burning designs.

Handmade With Natural Materials

Today I use gourds to create whimsical pumpkin characters full of personality, along with carved gourd luminaries that glow softly with candlelight. Because every gourd grows in its own unique shape, each finished piece is truly one of a kind.

I also enjoy working with natural accents like dried botanicals, wood flowers, pinecones, and vine elements. These materials make it easy to decorate your home with organic textures—whether you're styling a dough bowl, creating a centerpiece, or adding warmth to a shelf or coffee table.

Bringing the Outdoors In

My goal is to create pieces that help you bring the outdoors inside while decorating your home with natural textures, rustic charm, and a little bit of whimsy.
