Emily Baker & Beth Stutzman
Beth Stutzman / Co-Owner & Principal designer
Ever since I was a little girl, I've had an eye for design. I'd decorate and re-decorate my childhood bedroom, learning along the way. My love for interiors was inspired by my grandmother, whose timeless East Coast townhouse always felt effortlessly like home. The townhome was filled with vintage rugs, original artwork, and decor they acquired as my grandparents traveled the world together.
Those same grandparents were in the dental field, which was my first career. After being a dental assistant for nearly five years, I worked up the courage to go back to school for my true passion—Interior Design. After commuting back and forth to Ball State, I focused on a self-taught path which wasn't easy, but my passion for the craft kept me committed. When I met Emily at church a few years later, I knew that making an impact on Fort Wayne's design scene was exactly where I needed to be.
With my husband, Brad, we have three wonderful boys—Easton, Ellis, and Emmitt—and a dog named Belle. I also find inspiration in movies, traveling, dining at local restaurants & coffee shops, doing puzzles, and coloring.
Emily Baker / Co-Owner, Designer & Operations Manager
I have had a passion for all things home-related since I was young. Growing up in Arizona and then northern California, I'd tour model homes with my family to see different styles and ways of decorating—just for fun! In school, I ultimately decided to pursue a Business Degree; a decision which made the founding of House to Home possible.
My husband, Sam (a Bluffton, IN native), and I moved to Fort Wayne in 2016. The people and community here in Fort Wayne is our favorite aspect of calling this our home. While the cold Indiana winters are still a shock, I've come to enjoy to slower-pace that comes with a midwest winter. I am truly a midwesterner at heart!
Shortly after moving here, I and Beth met at church. We bonded over a shared love of interiors, and the timeless architecture of old homes. This level of timelessness and quality was tough to find in Fort Wayne, and we quickly realized this was a problem we could solve, not only for ourselves but for the entire community!
Sam and I have three beautiful children; Kinley, Cruz, and Brooks. I live on coffee during the day, and enjoys a good whiskey sour in the evenings, from time to time. In what free time I have, I love exploring Fort Wayne, reading a good book, and dreams of taking a nap. (All the mothers and business owners understand that last one!)
Lauryn / Design Admin Assistant
I joined the House to Home team in fall 2023 after graduating From Blackhawk Christian School in 2022. Instead of going to college right away, I decided to explore my interests. Inspired by my mom's 12-year home transformation journey, I'm currently on the path to become a certified Interior Decorator. Working at House to Home, I'm gaining hands-on experience and connecting with guests. I'm passionate about the field and eager to grow in it.
Outside of work, you'll often find me hanging out with friends, reading, listening to Taylor Swift, or indulging in a Gilmore Girls marathon.
