Now that you’re here, we hope you’ll stay for a while. There’s lots to explore and discover as you celebrate the joys of your home.
Thank you for visiting!
Meet Kathleen
Kathleen is The Granite Acorn’s founder and “Head Nut.” After more than 30 years in corporate marketing, the frequent travel and long hours left her longing for a life where she could spend more time doing what makes her happiest: being home.
Following a year-long sabbatical spent digging in the garden, baking like crazy, and finding joy in the smallest details, she decided to make the change permanent.
Today, you can find her celebrating home on 300 acres in coastal Maine with her hubby (aka “The Man Who Can Do Anything”) and adopted dogs Trigger and Juno.
