Let’s create something unforgettable together!
Hey y’all, I’m Karen Tindall Tillery, my friends call me KT and I’m excited to give you a glimpse into my crazy whirlwind of a life. I am a Birmingham born Southern girl, follower of Jesus and an Auburn University graduate, WAR EAGLE! My journey has been one of ambition, creativity, and a deep love for turning the old into something beautiful and new. As a go-getter by heart I proudly wear many hats, running not just one, but 2, crazy, fun, and amazing businesses: Restoration Log Cabin Rentals and Karen Tillery Designs. .
I love ALL my jobs, from Mom to Gigi, bride wrangler to designer, and cabin rental manager to builder of hand-hewn log cabins. I started working with old, reclaimed buildings and materials over 30 years ago. I have renovated a whole bunch of houses and built my first house 20 years ago. I renovated my first cabin 20 years ago and finally got my builders license about 10 years ago so I could start designing and building for other people. My love for renovating and restoring 1800’s log cabins and barns, combined with my design business, has led to an awesome late life career as a designer on the TV show "Barnwood Builders" on the Magnolia Network. My passion? Taking the worn, the weathered, and the forgotten, and weaving magic in a way that turns these places into breathtaking creations. There's something incredibly satisfying about giving life to forgotten beauty and I revel in every moment of the transformation process.
I love, love, love my precious family. As a mom to four wonderful kiddos and grandmother to three adorable toddlers, every moment with them is precious. I just wish they all lived closer, so we had more of those moments. I love to draw and paint and I get to enjoy that as part of my everyday life with my design business. I also love to hike I used to love to read, but let’s be real… I run 2 businesses, I get 3 pages in and I’m out like a light.🤣
So, there you have it – a snapshot of the whirlwind that is Karen Tindall Tillery. A creator, a mother, a grandmother, a designer, and an adventurer at heart. Join me as I continue to infuse magic into every project, every interaction, and every moment I cherish. Let's embrace the beauty of transformation, saving pieces of history all along the way.🔨🏡❤️
