hi, i’m kendra

I’m so happy you’re here!! Harbor + Pine originally started out as a blog with my best friend, Bryana and I back in 2019. So much has changed in the last five years and though we are no longer business partners, we are still very must best friends, and at the beginning of 2024, I took over as sole owner of Harbor + Pine, so I figured I’d tell you a little bit more about myself in case you’re new here!

I was born and raised here in the Upper Peninsula of MI and have never lived anywhere else! The winters are long, but the summers and fall are incredible, and most of our family and friends live here too, so I don’t see us ever really leaving!

I'm a homebody happily married to my home builder husband, Jason. We are parents to our beautiful 4 year old daughter, Hazel, and our newest addition, Dolly, an adorable cavapoo puppy.

I never planned on being an entrepreneur, but four years ago I quit my corporate job and now here we are! I'm an enneagram six with a seven wing aka I'm an over thinker that's also impulsive (it's complicated lol).

Creating beautiful spaces on a budget is my biggest passion and I hope you’ll stick around for a little bit of everything here from affordable design and decor inspo, thrifting finds, DIYs, recipes, and a lot of heart-to-heart conversations.

Thanks for being here! Love ya, Kendra
