About Mandy

I’m the voice behind Northern Gypsy Living, a quiet space devoted to rebuilding a life after loss. I live in a historic 1891 building in Michigan, where I write, collect, and restore both my surroundings and myself. I am also the founder of Atelier 1891, a leather goods studio I built with my late husband; work that continues to carry his presence forward.

Life, as it unfolds on Instagram

A month full of paint projects, old house progress, practical finds, cozy reads, and a few purchases that made everyday life better. This story… this part of my life… took me a full year to write. Still working on the moody details of this room. The trim beneath the window getting the love it deserves and additional layers of paint are going up. This week we will paint the ceiling medallion, hang it and the new lights, add another layer of paint to the ceiling, continue picking out moody/dark academia vibes. #oneroomchallenge #darkacademiavibes #orcat #apartmenttherapy #darkacademiastyle Which one would you choose? I’ve narrowed it down to 3 handle options and I am torn! Comment your pick! #oneroomchallenge #northerngypsyliving #interiordesign #apartmenttherapy #darkacademia Some books wait quietly on your shelf… This week’s books feel… There are stories that pull you in slowly… There is something sacred about the book that finds you at the right time. What I am currently reading! Have you read it? What did you think? #bookish #bookstagrammer #reading #readingislife #bookworm
