While it isn't a rule exactly, it isn't unusual for a homeowner to discover a love for interior design upon the acquisition of their first home, owned or rented. Trinity Holmes, the designer behind "Circa 1934", uncovered a love for farmhouse design when decorating her child's nursery on a budget. Since then she has honed her talents in the homes of friends and clients and now in her very own farmhouse.
In 2012, Trinity and her family purchased this early 1900's farmhouse in Raleigh, North Carolina. Since then she has added her signature touch to every room in the home by introducing a variety of antiques such as handwoven baskets, china, artwork and sports memorabilia.

The home almost feels like a museum, a very welcoming and eclectic museum, in the way Trinity has arranged much of her favorite finds on its walls. The collection also contains some classic Americana pieces and even a nod to the country to the North, Canada, in its Hudson's Bay textiles. It is sure to be a favorite among antique collectors and pickers of every kind.
