Halbert House — home, family, and the honest side of building things

Hey, you made it. Welcome to Halbert House.

wife, mom, always building something

It’s Chelsey! You probably know me from Maple + Lark. Seven years, half a million boxes, and honestly more bins than I’d like to admit. That chapter’s closed. This is what’s next.

I spent years earning your trust talking about organization, and that part isn’t going anywhere. But now you get the whole house — the real stuff, the family, the things I actually use and would text my sister about. If you’ve ever asked me “wait, where did you get that?” — you’re in the right place.

❦Work with me

for brands & fellow business owners

Have a brand that belongs in a real house? Let’s chat.

I partner with home, kitchen, kids and family brands I’d actually use, and I only rep the ones I’d text my sister about. Reels filmed in our house, a spot in the gift guides above, Stories with links, and photos you can use on your own channels (I shoot those too).

Let’s talk → Media kit

Need marketing help? I’ve done it for real.

For seven years I ran every single piece of Maple + Lark’s marketing myself — the Klaviyo emails, the launches, the content — all the way through to selling out. Now I do it for other brands. Email, content, and photos.
