Heather Bien
Hi! I'm Heather Bien, a lifestyle and commerce writer based in Washington, DC who's currently renovating an 1895 Victorian fixer-upper and trying to decide on the perfect color of kitchen cabinets. You can usually find me hunting down the next unforgettable find for my home, convincing myself wallpaper isn't *that* hard to DIY install, or working on my homemade latte recipes. I've written about home, decor, style, cleaning, home maintenance, renovation, and tested products for major websites and magazines including Apartment Therapy, The Spruce, MyDomaine, Martha Stewart Living, and more. Give me an opportunity to talk about the future of open floor plans in a WFH world, how to clean and season a cast iron pan, or which colors and fabrics work best for a living room sofa, and I'm there.
And want to know my best ever home buy? I'll point right to my Breville Bambino Plus...or my Lodge Dutch Oven...or my Le Creuset Mini Cocottes. Never mind, don't make me decide!
