Kwikset sent me some products to make this makeover possible. This is a sponsored post but all of these opinions are 100% my own. Our little entry way has been a work in progress since January and I’m happy to be able to call it complete. Here’s where it all started, back in October. Then […]
Our Home
Terrazzo Refinishing: Before and After
Word on the street is that terrazzo is making a come back and is being uncovered from years of hiding under berber carpeting. When we decided to purchase our home, I was excited to move on from our laminate floors to solid flooring but to be honest, I wasn’t super excited about the off-white, nearly […]
Inspiration: The Entry Way
The entry way in our home isn’t an official entry space. Our front door opens up into the dining room with the kitchen not too far behind. An entry way is a heavy worker in a home, it needs to be functional and tidy, mainly to avoid keeping the front door open for a long […]
Spring Fever
Over the weekend we went to our town’s annual Green Thumb Festival. We look forward to it every year and love to be inspired by all of the beautiful greenery. Each year we come home with something new to grow and like to reflect on what we’ve grown in the years past. Last year we […]
Kitchen: Current State
We’ve made a lot of progress in our kitchen in the past several weeks. (As a reminder, here’s where we were when we started.) The last time I updated you, we were in the demolition phase and were refinishing the terrazzo floors. Once the floors were finished, we began the long process of building and installing […]
All Set – Well, Kind Of
Last week I woke up with an itch to paint our bedroom and managed to finish in one day – which is a huge feat for me. The next day I trimmed out a door in our bedroom and spent the next couple of nights painting the new trim and old, yellowing door. Although our […]
Nesting and Waiting
I’m in the last few weeks (or days) of my pregnancy and have been nesting like a mad woman. Our kitchen is still a work in progress and I’ve let go of the expectation that it’ll be done before the baby is born. The most I ask for now is a kitchen sink and am […]
Late Mornings and Lazy Days
While it would seem that the first couple of weeks following the New Year should be filled with productivity, I always find my self struggling to pick up where I left off before the holidays. Late mornings and lazy days have been commonplace around here since the beginning of 2018. One of those lazy mornings, […]
Kitchen Remodel: Before
We’ve been making headway with our kitchen remodel and are quickly approaching the chaos that is sure to come with a large remodel project. Our cabinets have been delivered, the sink and faucet are on the way, and I’m losing plenty of sleep while contemplating all of the lighting options. While I am attempting to […]
Kitchen Lighting
We have officially begun our kitchen remodel by removing a useless wall last weekend. I can’t wait to share the big change with you but first I wanted to talk about lighting, which has proven to be a difficult design decision to settle on. source To get an idea of the space we’re lighting up, […]
