Today, we’re in the heart of California’s Central Valley, visiting the lakeside home of Chelsea Cumiford — a school psychologist, designer, and content creator who’s turned her family’s dream into reality. What began as a simple plot of dirt became a personal sanctuary, carefully designed and built from the ground up.

Chelsea’s home is a study in warmth and creativity — where industrial textures meet vintage charm, and every room carries a story. From the handcrafted library inspired by her travels, to the open kitchen modeled after a favorite California café, each space blends nostalgia with modern comfort.

Rooted in family, memory, and the spirit of home, Chelsea’s lakeside retreat is more than a beautiful space — it’s a reflection of intention, imagination, and the joy of building a life that feels truly your own. Enjoy!
