A Note from Anika
Founder & Principal designer at Anika Schachtler Design
I live a simple, indoor-outdoor lifestyle, surrounded by my favorite things—horses, fresh flowers, and quiet farmland views. Home, to me, is about embracing a slower pace and truly enjoying the everyday moments.
Growing up, I was always drawn to old farmhouses and the stories they held. Renovating our own 1830s farmhouse deepened my appreciation for their charm and the importance of preserving original details—hardwood flooring, moldings, doors, and hardware.
That’s why I started Anika Schachtler Design—to help homeowners breathe new life into their century-old homes while keeping their soul intact. I specialize in renovating and restoring farmhouses and cottages from the 1800s and early 1900s, creating spaces that feel timeless, welcoming, and built to last. My approach is thoughtful and hands-on, blending the best of the past with the comforts of today.
What Matters Most
Preservation – Keeping the history of a home alive by respecting its original details.
Timelessness – Designing spaces that won’t feel outdated in a few years, but instead, get better with time.
Connection – Creating homes where people feel truly at ease, whether gathering with family or enjoying quiet moments.
Community – Collaborating with skilled craftspeople and homeowners who share a love for heritage and quality design.
