    I am Jenny Pippin, founder of Pippin Home Designs and creator of my own inspired living.  I grew up as an ordinary southern girl, working in the fields of my family’s tobacco farm.  It didn’t take me long to realize I had greater gifts and so I chose to step into my power and create my own path in life, inspired by my heart’s true passion. (More on my personal story HERE!)

    ​The conversations found in this blog are structured around home design with a foundation, just like our homes, built on inspiration.
