The old nursery of her grandparents is Stephanie's home. Here she can live out her love for plants, natural materials and old furniture with patina. She has transformed the 1950s house into a stylish country home. Her interior style is a mix of vintage and botanical.

Stephanie's grandparents built the nursery on the outskirts of Offenburg in the 1930s. The home was then added directly behind the farm in 1958. Her father grew up there, and later moved into the upper floor with his small family and Stephanie. So three generations lived under one roof. The grandparents ran the nursery until the 1980s, as long as they were able.

Around 15 years ago, Stephanie moved into the old nursery. She and her husband approached the conversion of the house very carefully. They didn't want to interfere too much with the character of the house, but renovation was urgently needed. So the 1950s house got a new roof with dormers to gain more space. On the first floor, small windows became large doors. This brought more light and room comfort and a connection to the garden, which they have since been able to reach via a spacious balcony.

The two managed almost everything on their own, in months of personal effort. They fearlessly painted the wooden floors white, simply painted over the tiles, and covered some of the walls with wallpaper from old pattern books from the 1970s.

Stephanie's love of plants is not only evident in the lush garden and plant life outside, but also continues in the Urban Jungle in the apartment building. Plants can be found everywhere, bright greenery sprawls across the shelves, a hanging plant dangles in the middle of the room, or a climbing plant conquers the kitchen shelf. This botanical style can be found in all rooms. Plants bring life into the rooms and a good climate, says Stephanie. Her bedroom is correspondingly green.

In the house, many things remind her of her childhood and growing up in the old nursery, of her grandparents. The bathroom has been newly renovated, but the old sink has been reinstalled, complete with fixtures. At the heart of the house, in the kitchen, is a memento par excellence: the old kitchen buffet. Stephanie repainted it and brushed it to vintage. And she labeled the cabinet with Dymo labels. This design element can be found in other rooms as well and is almost a trademark.

Preserving the legacy and heritage of her grandparents is something Stephanie is passionate about. So, with her husband, she decluttered and reactivated the long vacant greenhouse. In spring, all the tables and shelves are full of seedlings and young plants for the garden. In summer and fall, however, she also styles the greenhouse. She assembles old enamel pots, cracked soup bowls or dented baking dishes into lush arrangements. Even a simple rake and faded watering cans look great here.

Impressive is the gardening barn: a large shed where grandparents used to sell fruits, vegetables and plants. Grandma used to dry flowers on the roof beams here, taking the summer with her into the cold season. She then used them to make wreaths and bouquets. Stephanie Müller continues this tradition - dried flowers that conjure up a delicate, light, floating image.

As a photographer and stylist, Stephanie uses her own four walls for photo shoots or she rents out her space to colleagues. Conveniently, her vintage furniture is almost all small and mobile. So with little effort, the subject can always be put in the right light and the scenery can change.
