Proudly Introducing Project House Tennessee
Peek into our newest collaboration with Plank & Pillow with a fresh take on timeless design in a forever home.
We are delighted to present Project House Tennessee, a collaboration with our sister brand, American Farmhouse Style, and the design team of Henry and Brooke Jones of Plank & Pillow. This new build in the hills near Kingsport, TN, will be Henry and Brooke’s “forever” home for their family and we are excited to join them in bringing their vision to life.
The Plank & Pillow Story
Henry and Brooke Jones launched their design journey in 2018 with a simple goal: to share their love of creating beautiful, meaningful homes. What began as a blog, Plank & Pillow, quickly struck a chord with readers who were drawn to their approachable design tips, DIY tutorials, and knack for making a house feel like home. As their online community grew, so did their vision. Today, Henry and Brooke extend their expertise through thoughtfully crafted house plans with each one blending old-world charm with layouts designed for modern living.
Their new endeavor with us, Project House Tennessee, reflects that philosophy in every detail. “When we set out to design this home, we knew we wanted it to feel like it had always been there-timeless, welcoming, and perfectly settled into its surroundings,” they explain. “We didn’t want something overly trendy or stark. We wanted timeless character, rich materials, and thoughtful details that told a story.”
The finished design will be just that: a layered, intentional home that gracefully balances historic inspiration with the functionality of today’s lifestyle.
5 Tips for Choosing the Right Home Plan
Henry and Brooke Jones of Plank & Pillow offer guidance when choosing a floor plan for your new home.
- Know Your Needs. Pick a layout that fits your lifestyle-consider work, family, and entertainment.
- Fit the Lot. Match the plan to your lot’s shape, slope, and size for the best use of space.
- Check Room Sizes. Do not just look at total square feet, make sure rooms are sized right for you.
- Plan for Growth. Look for flexible spaces you can adapt later, like bonus rooms or basements.
- Budget Smart. Choose a design that fits your budget, including build and future upkeep.
