Welcome to Our Manor On Main!

My name is Bri, a small-town girl from the Midwest USA with big dreams and a passion for all things creative!

 When I’m not whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, you’ll find me diving into DIY projects and transforming spaces with my love for design and décor. My heart beats for antiques and thrifted treasures, which add a unique charm to my home.

 Right now, I’m on an exciting journey, rehabbing a 118-year-old commercial building to create our dream home right above my store. It’s a labor of love, and I can’t wait to share every step with you!

 My mission is to inspire you to chase your home dreams, no matter the size of your space. You don’t need a mansion or a large piece of farmland to create a cozy, self-sustaining life.

3 FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

  • I am a space nerd
  • I absolutely LOVE Christmas
  • I am a dumpster diver (I find the BEST stuff in the trash!)
  • I have started grinding my own flour and absolutely love how it’s elevated my from-scratch baking. If you’re interested in baking with freshly milled grains, you can check out the exact one I use here.

 Join me as I share tips, tricks, and a whole lot of inspiration. Let’s embark on this adventure together and make our homes a reflection of our dreams!

Monday was James’ 18th birthday (seriously where has the time gone?!) and we decided to visit one of our favorite theme parks. Inside sits The Wilderness Church where church services are held every week. It is a beautiful church, yes, but what makes this little church even more special to me is that it was my late grandmother’s schoolhouse. The building was moved from its original location and placed in this theme park as a part of some local preservation efforts. A few years back, my mom and I went to the historical society in the area and came across attendance records for this little school from back in 1937. My grandmother was only 7 years old at the time. It showed when her and her siblings did not attend due to inclement weather or if they stayed home to help out on the farm. It was really amazing to discover that! Back then they all walked over several fields and deep woods to get to school. I can imagine her younger self and all the adventures she had on those school days and how different things were back then. It’s a treasure to be able to go visit the place that she attended school all those years ago. In a lot of ways it makes me feel more connected to her every time I visit. 💕#memories #oneroomschoolhouse #familyhistory #slowliving #fallmorning … See MoreSee Less

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes + Cinnamon Sugar Honey Butter 🎃🥞I’ve been watching Gilmore Girls this fall, so naturally I’ve been craving all the cozy, autumnal things. And honestly, when fall rolls around, I already have a serious pumpkin craving anyway. 😂So when I came across the idea of pumpkin spice pancakes with cinnamon sugar honey butter, I knew I had to make them.One morning, I whipped these up for Jason and me, and I instantly became completely obsessed.They are fluffy. They are perfectly pumpkiny. They literally melt in your mouth. And please, PLEASE do not skip the cinnamon sugar honey butter. It takes these pancakes completely over the top. 🤎These are easily in my top three recipes I’ve ever made for the blog, and I genuinely think they’re the perfect fall breakfast. If you’re looking for a cozy breakfast to make on a crisp autumn morning, this is the one.Very Gilmore Girls, very Luke’s Diner, very “let’s have pancakes for breakfast and then talk about our lives over coffee.” ☕️🍂🎃 Comment “Recipe” and I’ll send you the recipe link! … See MoreSee Less

Pumpkin season is officially in full swing over here! 🎃☕️I wanted to recreate that creamy pumpkin flavor I love in my favorite fall coffee drinks without spending $8 every time I wanted a pumpkin spice latte, so I made my own homemade pumpkin sauce!It’s made with just 5 simple ingredients and takes minutes to mix together. Keep it in the fridge all week and add it to coffee, chai tea, milk for a pumpkin spice milk, or even drizzle it over ice cream!Basically, if you love pumpkin spice season as much as I do, you need a jar of this in your fridge. 🤎I’ll link the full recipe in the comments! 🎃 Homemade Pumpkin Sauce☕ Pumpkin Spice Coffee🍂 Fall Coffee Recipes🥛 Pumpkin Spice Milk🍁 Easy Fall Drinks#PumpkinSauce #PumpkinSpice #PumpkinSpiceLatte #FallDrinks #FallCoffee #PumpkinCoffee #FallRecipes #PumpkinRecipes #HomemadePumpkinSauce #CoffeeRecipes #EasyRecipes #PumpkinSeason #FallMorning #CozyFall … See MoreSee Less

Breakfast casserole just hits different. 🤤Layers of cheesy eggs, savory sausage, potatoes, and plenty of seasoning, all baked together until golden and delicious. It’s that breakfast that makes everyone wander into the kitchen asking, “Is it ready yet?” 😂This casserole fed Jason and I for the whole week so it’s also great for meal prep! I’ll link the recipe below so you can make it for your next weekend breakfast or brunch!#BreakfastCasserole #BreakfastRecipes #EasyBreakfast #BrunchRecipes #ComfortFood … See MoreSee Less
