About Us

Welcome to Ideas for the Home by Kenarry® where we create and curate ideas you’ll find useful for your home and family. Whether you’re crafting or creating for your family, you’re bound to find inspiration here. We love sharing do-it-yourself projects, craft ideas, and products that we think you’ll love as much as we do.

What You’ll Find Here

As you browse our site, you’ll discover ideas for home decor, celebrating holidays plus other tips and tricks you can implement at your home. Please pour yourself some coffee and stay awhile. We’re so glad you’re here!

If this is your first time visiting us, let’s start by telling you a little more about us. We’re Kent and Carrie, a husband and wife team based in West Michigan where we share our home with our two children and a mutt named Scruffy.

These projects were brought to life by a wonderful group of talented content creators. Their legacy of fun and creativity inspires people to create, laugh, and make their homes beautiful. We’re not experts, by any means, but we want Ideas for the Home by Kenarry to be a trusted resource for you, where you see big, bright instructional photos and learn what worked well for our creators, what didn’t work well, and what we’d do differently next time.

She’s an optimist by nature and enjoys trying new craft ideas, planning for parties and events as well as organizing and decorating our home. When she’s not blogging, preparing meals or picking up around the house, you loves to away in a castle under the stairs with her kids.

Carrie’s other passion is volunteerism and connecting people with opportunities to make a difference in their community. She was one of the founders and organizers of an annual Women’s Service Day event. She also spent many years as the director of a short-term missions program for teens serving throughout the US, Canada and abroad.
