Inside a Soulful 1920s Farmhouse Full of Heirlooms & Collected Finds

We’re in Barrington Hills, Illinois, visiting the 1920s farmhouse of interior designer Jess Milburn. Jess walks us through her charming home alongside her best friend and design partner, Robin Flaherty, sharing how the home reflects a life layered with family, history, and objects collected over time.

Throughout the house, personal pieces take center stage—objects that hold memory, tell stories, and quietly connect the present to the past. From heirlooms passed down through generations to small, unexpected finds, the home reveals itself as a deeply personal place. Enjoy!
