I’m downright giddy about today’s post.  Kid spaces are my fave and a kid space in my own home that puts the fun in functional?  Well, let’s just say I’m like my 3-year-old will be on Christmas morning.  It’s playroom reveal day! Just for kicks before we launch into the playroom reveal after, let’s take […]

I’m downright giddy about today’s post.  Kid spaces are my fave and a kid space in my own home that puts the fun in functional?  Well, let’s just say I’m like my 3-year-old will be on Christmas morning.  It’s playroom reveal day!

Today kicks off a week full of wonderful.  Each day I’ll be breaking down a different part of the kitchen, starting today with the full kitchen reveal. This space is a special one.  It’s the heart of our home, and the place where we spend most of our hangout time.  With a lot of hard work, including […]

While I was recovering from delivery with Anna, a lot was happening at the house and I couldn’t wait to go up and shoot an update for you, including exterior work, railing, and a whole lot more. Here’s a little video tour of progression at the #staggreno (follow along on instagram): video/editing: James Young We have […]

We’re really cookin’ with gas at the #staggreno these days.  I wish I could take each and every one of you on a personal tour to show you how incredible everything looks.  Instead, I’ll have to take you on a virtual tour instead. The transformation is already pretty amazing.  So, take my (virtual) hand, my […]

That’s what today’s video is all about– showing you how to install a door. Video/Editing: James Young I searched high and low […]

With the dramatic structural changes we had planned for the house, we knew some new paint colors would be in order for both the additional materials we were adding in and also for the old, dingy, off-white brick.

The #staggreno was built in 1970 but somewhere along the line, there were some changes to the home’s structure.  The owners added a pitched roof (that’s right, it was flat originally).  The neighborhood is on the bench (higher part of the Salt Lake Valley) and gets a whole lot of snow in the winter, so I’m […]

Our house is old.  Yep, 1970-original-almost-everything old.  But, it had a lot of re-usable stuff.  Stuff we didn’t want/need but still, stuff that somebody would want/need. Rather than just trash everything in the house after the children of the previous owners’ estate sale, we decided to sell anything and everything we could.  This served two […]
