Welcome Friends!
Meet Brittney
the face behind the gage made home.
I am so glad you’re here! I know browsing the internet for true, attainable inspiration is so hard to come by these days. Who’s opinion do you trust? Is what they are sharing something you can really achieve yourself? I get it.
I promise you that one of my greatest priorities is attainability. That doesn’t mean I want to envy me life (buy all the things I buy, like all the things I like, dream all the dreams I dream). Absolutely not.
But I hope you walk away from here feeling like you can add your own unique touch to what I share and make your creative visions come true – both in your home and within your family.
I hope you stay awhile – get to know me, read my story below and reach say hi back. I’d love to meet you!
L.A. Native Finding Home in Omaha, NE.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California where I studied English and Creative Writing at the Master’s University. I married the love of my life on a rainy day in December at the young age of 20 and 4 years later, we felt God calling us to greater things outside of California.
In the Summer of 2019, we sold our suburban Southern California townhouse and moved across the country to settle new roots in the Midwest. I know what you are thinking: Nebraska? It’s a long story I’d love to share with you sometime but I promise it was the best decision we ever made.
Now we are focusing on new dreams as we build a home and family out here in Omaha. We found the perfect 2 story home nestled in the suburban Midwest with a big red barn in the backyard. And we are loving every second of making it ours.
Let's be pen pals!

the love of my life
Our story begins with a letter nestled in the bed of a 1930 Royal Typewriter, the contents of the page guiding my soul to the realization that the man who wrote it would have my heart for the rest of our lives. After 365 days of overwhelming joy, endless laughter and so much growth, I stood in front of the love of my life as he got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him. 10 months later, on a rainy day in December, we began our greatest adventure with an unshakable covenant, promising to always choose one another, to seek holiness all the days of our lives, and to find happiness in the simplicity of the life we build together. We are the Gages.

the wanderluster in me
I love to travel – to explore the uncharted and chase sunsets in new places. I love that feeling of the moment when a place you’ve dreamed of unravels right in front of you and becomes this great big reality that you tuck away in camera rolls and memory banks for years to come. In another life, I truly believe I’d be an expat. I like to imagine that I would be living in a London flat just around the corner from Hyde park, writing stories of hidden gems uncovered on weekends and booking plane tickets for places I’ve never been. Curious where I’ve traveled to? Check out my travel archives for stories of all the beautiful places close to my heart.

saved by grace
In September of 1995, God breathed life into my very bones. Since that day, He has orchestrated every fabric of my life, weaving a beautiful and intricate story of His grace, glory, and power. And this truth echoes in all the corners of this space you will find here – the echo of a great and powerful God making beautiful things out of dust. My hope and prayer is that the homemaking habits I bring into my home and the creative dreams I pursue would first and foremost bring Him glory. And I hope that when you walk away from my corner of the internet here, you find yourself encouraged to do the same.

the girl who made me mama
On March 24, 2023, we welcomed the most beautiful baby girl into the world – Hazel Rose Gage. She forever changed our hearts and has brought so much warmth and joy into our lives. Becoming her mama has been one of the sweetest privileges I’ve been given and navigating motherhood has been such a rewarding journey. You will find glimpses of our family dynamic here on the blog as I share this journey with you – everything from practical everyday tools to a raw look at what the Lord is teaching us through it all. You can read her full birth story here and take a peek inside her nursery that we DIY-ed here!
