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 …
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 …
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 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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
