Hi I’m Jennifer!

I’m so happy you’re here!

First off, your home is beautiful, just the way it is. You’ve worked hard and sacrificed an enormous amount to say it’s yours, so let’s sit in that miracle for a moment. Now, let’s embrace the idea of progress. Let’s stop putting the pressure on ourselves to have the perfect house yesterday and start shaping a sanctuary with meaning specific to our needs. And in the process, let’s give our home the gift of time; after all, home wasn’t built in a day.

About City Farmhouse by Jennifer OBrien

welcome to city farmhouse!

City Farmhouse was created in 2011 with the intention of crafting a creative career while balancing life as a stay-at-home mom. The goal was to build a resourceful platform to inspire other home enthusiasts to embrace the idea that a loving home takes time to bloom. What I didn’t expect was the flood of incredible opportunities with well-known brands and magazines that came along with it. As a designer, style expert, and photographer, I learned skills that I could have never learned in a classroom. The cherry on top was meeting the most supportive group of creative women.
