The first project of the year – a refresh in our newly updated living room including built-ins. When we did the fireplace a few months ago I hadn’t fully committed to the idea yet. I’m glad we waited on it to get it just right, but now that it’s done a new coffee table design […]

Do you feel like you’re too busy or there’s never enough time for spring cleaning and organizing the home? I wholeheartedly understand and feel the same way! That is why I came up with this guide to spring cleaning & home organization for the busy mama and modern family. There are a few tips I […]

There are so many ways to approach designing built-ins. The style and layout can impact the design significantly depending on your preferences. For us, we wanted a very simple, clean look. I also decided I wanted something asymmetrical, which is usually the opposite of what I lean toward in design. There are truly so many […]

I hear so often designing for clients or on Instagram how refreshing the home feels overwhelming and like it will never get to where we want it. For so many of us I think big, healthy full reno budgets takes quite a bit of time to grow. Unless of course, it’s a new build. Even […]

A couple weeks ago I tackled a simple and quick refresh in our main hallway that you can see from every angle. It sticks out like a sore thumb to the rest of our updated home. So, it was time! We have a bifold closet system at the end of the hallway, not my favorite. […]

Hard to believe how much we accomplished and what our exterior looked like before this major refresh. It’s something I’ve dreamed about since we bought our home over 5.5 years ago. Good things take time. Here we are about 7 weeks later and our home looks nothing like it did before. All due to a […]

Each time I get asked about any of our outdoor furniture everyone is shocked to learn we made it. I chose each furniture piece based off of designs I loved from World Market. Not expensive by any means, and actually I think they’re all great affordable options. However, I knew we could make it way […]

There’s only two weeks left of the spring One Room Challenge sponsored by Better Homes and Gardens, sure crazy how quickly this project has flown by. This week we focused on the columns on our porch and patio, shutters, and our garage door makeover. All the best easy, inexpensive, and simple curb appeal projects! Really […]
