ABOUT

The founder

I am Jenny Pippin, founder of Pippin Home Designs and creator of my own inspired living. I grew up as an ordinary southern girl, working in the fields of my family’s tobacco farm. It didn’t take me long to realize I had greater gifts and so I chose to step into my power and create my own path in life, inspired by my heart’s true passion. (More on my personal story HERE!)

The conversations found in this blog are structured around home design with a foundation, just like our homes, built on inspiration.

🩵 A Love Story 🩵 This project wasn’t just

🩵 A Love Story 🩵

This project wasn’t just a renovation—it was a heartfelt tribute to generations of love, memories, and family legacy.

A cherished family property, passed down through time, was transformed from a rustic weekend retreat into a warm and welcoming forever home, designed to embrace three generations on one property.

Love was the heartbeat of every decision, every detail.

For the homeowner, this home is more than just a place—it’s a part of her soul. It’s where she played as a child and grew into adulthood.

One of the most treasured symbols of this home’s history is the towering oak tree her father planted decades ago—a living testament to time, patience, and deep roots.

Every room, every beam, and every inch of this property carries echoes of the past and dreams for the future.

A grandmother needed a space that would allow her to age in comfort and dignity. The grandchildren needed room to explore, play, and grow.

At the heart of it all, a family’s love wove everything together—past, present, and future—into a place that will continue to embrace them for generations to come.

This is more than a home. It’s a love story 💚

Sometimes a fully-customized home actually looks like a barndominium... so you can have the space to store all of your toys AND entertain guests in the process.

When you invest in a barndominium, you're no longer paying storage fees for your boat, your camper, or your award-winning cars.

These unique structures are gaining popularity across the United States and especially here in the Lake Norman area. These unique structures are gaining popularity across the United States and especially along the shores of Lake Norman where buildable space is limited.

We've loved collaborating on this project with @michellemckoydesigns and @spiveyconstructionco.

Recently, Jenny attended the @lakenormanhba Installation of Officers banquet at @cuttingedgestone in Mooresville.

Here’s what she had to say:
“They treated us all to a nice dinner and I was installed as an Associate member on the 2025 LNHBA Board, along with the other new slate of officers for this year.”

Wes and Breckyn were there too, to cheery Jenny on!

Thank you Lake Norman Home Builders Association for a wonderful evening 🩵💚
