Welcome to Tidbits&Twine!
Hi, I’m Kim — decorator, storyteller, and lifelong treasure hunter for all things beautifully timeworn.
Tidbits&Twine is a home-decorating destination dedicated to timeless, layered living.
Blending classic design with European influence, it helps readers create homes that feel warm, personal, and beautifully collected.
My Story
I’ve always believed that a home should tell a story — not through trends or price tags, but through the layers of life that make it yours. Over the years, I’ve transformed our builder-grade home in the San Francisco Bay Area into a space filled with warmth, character, and meaning.
My love of European antiques and timeworn finishes started small — a single flea market find that sparked a fascination with pieces that carry history in every scratch and curve. What began as a creative outlet slowly grew into Tidbits&Twine, where I share my journey toward creating a home that feels collected, not decorated.
My approach is rooted in real life — decorating for comfort, function, and personality. I’ve learned that a beautiful home doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to feel like you.
Behind the Scenes
I’m an animal lover, a devoted British TV watcher, and an excellent napper. My guilty pleasure? Anything on Bravo. I married my college sweetheart, and after all these years, he still patiently helps move furniture when inspiration strikes.
MY DECORATING PHILOSOPHY
Decorating shouldn’t feel intimidating. It’s not about following rules — it’s about creating beauty that feels personal.
I believe you should love your home, no matter its size, style, or age.
I believe in mixing old and new, refined and rustic, polished and imperfect.
And I’m drawn to the quiet elegance of European design — soft color palettes, aged woods, and that wonderful sense of patina that gives a space soul.
Every item in your home should earn its place, not because it’s trendy, but because it tells part of your story.
“Your home should feel like a reflection of you — layered with meaning, rich with history, and filled with things you love.”
-Kim @ Tidbits&Twine
