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 …

Before and After: Bathroom Renovation
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 …
Before and After: Kitchen Renovation
It’s here! The big kitchen reveal! This post has been a long time coming. I’ve shared some peeks, but not the full before and after! We’re still waiting on the railing to be installed for the staircase in the back (where the chandelier is), but I couldn’t wait any longer to share it with you! …
One month married and dressing room progress
I can’t believe it’s been a month since we got married. It feels like it was not that long ago while also feeling like a distant dream. Married life doesn’t feel much different, but it is fun to say husband! We came back from our honeymoon with a mission to get our house in order. …
Dressing Room Design Board
One of the great things of having a four bedroom house for only two people (for now) is that I get a whole room for my clothes and vanity! The closets in the upstairs bedrooms actually aren’t that small, but not walk-ins and sharing would be tight and our bathroom isn’t large so I don’t …
Bedroom sneak peek – and snow!
It’s hard to take a picture that does justice to the new paint color in our bedroom, but I am SOOO in love. When I came home and saw it completed yesterday I literally jumped for joy, which is uncharacteristic for me. I’ve had paint regrets before so I was nervous about this choice but …
Kitchen progress
Big developments! We came home from our honeymoon to a pretty much complete kitchen and HUSBAND (love saying that) wanted to immediately start unpacking the kitchen. I begrudged a bit about jumping right into that, but it’s awesome to finally have a functional kitchen. We just have to mind the stairwell to not fall down …
New Windows & Kitchen Progress
I am so in love with our new windows. When we opened up the kitchen, we needed to move the windows because the ones in the former breakfast nook, which is now just part of the kitchen, were below counter height. All of the main floor windows in our house are original, with the leaded …
I’m back, and we have a functional garage!
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, …
Bathroom Design Board
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 …
