One family. One historic schoolhouse. A whole lot of sawdust.
We're a homeschooling family in Dorr, Michigan, bringing a century-old historic schoolhouse back to life — as our home, and as the coffee shop where our town now gathers.
Don’t miss what’s next
Renovation progress, behind-the-counter moments at the shop, and the occasional homeschool chaos — sent straight to your inbox. No spam, just the journey.
Watch a 100-year-old schoolhouse come back to life, room by room. The original woodwork, the tall windows, the wild idea that started it all.
The space you've been watching us rebuild is open. Come pull up a chair and have a cortado in it.
The team restoring this schoolhouse can transform your home too — kitchens, baths, basements, and historic renovations across West Michigan.
