We are Kindred Homestead.

Tessa & Guy; a husband & wife, design to build team located in Champaign, Illinois specialize in reimagining and reinventing those long forgotten homes. What started as a small hobby of flipping homes in their local town, slowly turned into a passion project to cultivate charm & timeless design into each space they touch. Kindred Homestead is rooted in the idea that your home is more than just the four walls around you; it’s creating tangibility for the feelings you get when you think of “home.” Together with their 4 small children, this dynamic duo is focused on creating an experience unlike any other; one that emphasizes quality craftsmanship and classic design.

Testimonials

  • I hired Tessa to help with me with an apartment renovation that I was going to turn into an AirBNB. She started the project by doing a walk thru of the property and suggesting cabinet layouts, paint colors, and finishes. Throughout the construction she helped me choose flooring options, light fixtures, bathroom fixtures and other various touches. Once the construction was finished is where Tessa really came into action. She helped pick out all the furniture for the units, and then started decorating. She came up with a vision and then went shopping for me! Tessa was a real lifesaver in making this project complete. I couldn't have done this project without her!

  • We are currently in the middle of a kitchen remodel with Kindred Homestead. From the very first visit we knew that Guy and Tessa would be great to work with. Fresh ideas and an innovative couple. Every question and concern we have they address promptly and handle all the hiccups that come up with an older home remodel. We are doing a complete kitchen remodel that involves wall removal, a fireplace upgrade, and flooring throughout the main level of the home. They listened to our wants and needs and drew up a plan. We are so pleased and grateful that their team is transforming our home.

  • So thankful for Guy and Tessa’s contributions to our home improvement projects! Tessa helped organize, prioritize and enhance all my ideas to update and brighten our home. Her design ideas added texture and character to all the rooms she touched and the paint colors she picked out were absolutely perfect! Guy helped oversee the execution of all the improvements down to the detail and even managed to adapt our plan when we had some last minute changes :) They were so easy to work with and I honestly look forward to working with them again!

  • Tessa has been amazing help in establishing a vision for our home remodel! We started with a consultation for layout and design of primary living spaces. Tessa expertly guided us to organize our ideas and develop a cohesive theme. Her ability to listen and then suggest options that fit our style has made all the difference. She quickly brought our ideas into focus and gave direction to our project. Working with Kindred Homestead reduced the stress and pressure of decision-making, and left us excited about moving forward. We highly recommend their services and will be using them again to help with final stages of our project.

  • Tessa is absolutely amazing! She truly changed our home in the most beautiful way. We reached out because we have a large great room that looked like a game “animal” room. It was dark and not decorative. She came over and took measurements and consulted with us for longer than she should have. We were looking for recommendations and ideas to improve our area. She took our vision and turned it into beauty. She was honest which is what I love. She took our opinions and made recommendations based on our inspirations and passion. I’d highly recommend her. She is absolutely the sweetest woman and she is great with communication!
