“We live only to discover beauty; all else is a form of waiting.” -Kahlil Gibran

Hello! My name is Annie Little and I'm the person behind Little House Design Studio. Born and raised on the peninsula and Sonoma county, I moved to Mendocino county in 2015 and began Astoria Home Store in Fort Bragg.

In 2019, Astoria moved down to Mendocino and has been there ever since. In 2023, I stepped away from being the main merchandizer and buyer and went to school for Interior Design in Santa Rosa.

In 2025, I began my journey as a designer and organizer, hoping to help you create a space that makes you feel inspired and at home for many years to come. I am influenced by local history, antiques, and natural beauty.

The Gin & Culture Club

Named after the garage workshop group that formed in the 1970s, The Gin & Culture Club is my lifestyle blog which includes local history and points of interest in Mendocino. Enjoy!

Not sure when this was from, maybe the 1960s, but before they undergrounded all of the utility poles. Ever not notice that in #mendocino? #maxwelljarvishouse
