Life with a toddler is messy.  My family room is being overrun with toys and puzzles and crayons and while much of that is to be expected with a pint sized tornado going non-stop all day, it is partly my fault.  Besides her bedroom, Ruby doesn’t really have a designated space all her own.  A […]

I love me a good gallery wall.  It’s a place to compile and display things you love– photos, artwork, mirrors, figurines, some sentimental, some quirky.  They can be difficult to put together without making them look messy, but I think it’s a fun challenge.  Sort of like a jigsaw puzzle. Our bedroom had a wall […]

Our upstairs full bathroom is still under construction (making progress!), but today I’m taking you downstairs and sharing our half-bath remodel on the main floor.  It underwent a complete overhaul and I love how the transformation turned out. First, some before shots: When we moved in, this room was dark and depressing.  I wish I […]

When someone walks through your front door, you have an opportunity– a chance to welcome them with a beautiful entryway and set the tone for the rest of your home.  Up until recently, my entryway said “oh hi, I’m empty and boring and have nothing to offer but a pathway to the kitchen.”  That’s not […]

The guest bathroom on the second floor of our house needs a makeover.  Badly.  To sum it up, it’s just so painfully boring.  Not that a bathroom needs to be all bright colors and bling.  We don’t want to blind you while you’re in the tub, after all.  But this room is particularly bland.  And […]

It’s done!  It’s done!  Our master bedroom is done!  I’m excited to share the finished product with you today (after months of work). First, a sweet (and magic) master bedroom reveal video James and I put together. It really captures the space and how we use it. If you’re anything like me, your master has […]

Our master bedroom is going through a major transformation.  We’ve completed the other bedrooms on the upper floor, and it finally came time to tackle the beast.  And what a beast it was.  I snapped this photo just before we took ownership. When we moved in, it was purple.  Like Barney the Dinosaur purple.  With […]

Have you ever stayed in someone’s home and felt completely at ease?  Like you’re staying in a hotel, but more relaxed, comfortable, and at home?  That’s the feeling I want our guests to have when they stay in our small guest suite. Guest rooms sometimes get the “hodgepodge” treatment, don’t they?  Hand-me-down furniture that doesn’t […]
