Exuding warmth and an authentic, lived-in sensibility, Anissa Zajac conjures heirloom-inspired homes—masterfully layered with a blend of textiles, textures, and timeless pieces. Interior designer and founder of House Seven Design, Zajac invites you to look beyond trends and perfection and instead focus on the meaningful pieces that tell a story. Through a love of antiques, handcrafted details, and collected objects, she shows how the things we bring into our homes can reflect who we are and where we’ve been. Drawing from her upbringing in a large family where sewing, creating, and working with one’s hands were part of everyday life, Anissa shares a design philosophy rooted in craftsmanship, intention, and heart. Her approach reminds us that homes are built over time, shaped by memory, effort, and care. More than a design book, Heirloom Design is a story of perseverance and possibility. Zajac’s journey is proof that with grit, hard work, and belief in your vision, dreams can become reality. Inspired by years of working closely with clients who trusted her insight and creative direction, this book is a celebration of those incredible collaborations. Heirloom Design is for anyone who believes a beautiful home is not about what you buy, but what you carry forward.
