Carly’s Bio
Carly Thornock is the founder of Intentional House, where she helps families create houses they live to love in. She's taught at the university level, she's spoken around the nation at conferences, she's designed multi-million dollar projects, and she's been featured across the globe in written publications, but her favorite thing is teaching moms who are in the trenches doing and living, and loving right at home, right now.
When not going on rock/bug collection walks or experimenting with yogurt batches, Carly can be found binge reading Brené Brown's volumes with lots of blankets, practicing handstands with her kiddos, sitting in cold rivers with her husband, and restarting her DuoLingo Spanish streak. There is never a dull moment around the Thornock home, and for that reason they've intentionally selected dull corners on all their furniture.
