This post has been a LONG time coming. Technically this project was finished in April, but I just haven’t made the time to sit down and do a proper post. A day home sick finally got me to do it. Off the back of our kitchen is a stairwell that goes down to the finished …
It’s been a long time since I’ve done a blog post. I don’t have a lot of excuses, I guess just life and inertia. Instagram has felt easier to keep up with, but I want to try to get back with occasionally blogging. Inertia is also to blame for me putting off organizing my closet/dressing …
This project was intended to have two sides, NEST and NOURISH, but I haven’t given much attention to the nourish side. The renovation was all consuming and we didn’t have a kitchen for months, so not a lot of cooking was happening. I like to think I’m pretty good in the kitchen, but making time …
I was waiting to do a bathroom before and after until we had put up the rest of the hardware and organized the space, but then I figured why wait for it to be perfect? That’s not the reality of a renovation. There’s always more to do. So don’t mind that our hand towel is …
Goodbye apartment living! It’s been a good 12 years but it’s time to move on to a house! I love this video from when we first moved into our apartment. We built our first home together here, learned to live as two, and made some great memories. Like the time we stood on the roof as it …
Well I’ve been a horrible at this blog thing lately. I need to be more diligent about setting aside time for writing. Things have been a little crazy with the remodel, wedding planning, work travels, etc. But no excuses. A lot has happened on the house, though it isn’t the most glamorous stuff – electrical, …
In addition to the kitchen, we are remodeling the main floor bathroom. We completely gutted the old one. It was dated and cramped, with an unnecessarily low ceiling drop above the shower and deep vanity that made the already narrow room feel even smaller. My vision started with a white foundation to open up the …
We are full swing into the renovation! The kitchen has been demoed, the arch is built and the new drywall is up. Now for the designing! This is everything I’ve been waiting for after thousands of hours of HGTV, haha! Lance has been kind enough to let me take the reins, acknowledging that this has …
The new arch is up! When we decided to open the wall up between the kitchen and dining room we knew we wanted to find a solution to maintain the coved ceiling in the dining room. Lance suggested we mirror the arch between the dining and living room (the living room also has a coved …
I’m still working on my green thumb. And by working I mean I don’t have one and I haven’t really been working on it. My other half, Lance, seems to think he can change this. One Christmas he gave me an herb growing set, with a planter box and seeds. I managed to get one …
