In case you missed my post on here yesterday (and big announcement on Instagram stories), we are adding a family member shortly after we move in toward the beginning of May. We’re getting a dog! Some Stagg’s are happier about it than others, but Ruby, Vivie and I are sure that Jon and Anna will […]

Here we go: the Lower Level Kitchen Design! Buckle up, it’s been a ride getting this space figured out. In case you missed it, I recently shared the direction and inspiration of the Lower Level Kitchen at Stagg Mountain Modern. This room is at the tippy top of priorities, as it will be our main […]

If we’ve learned anything during this renovation, it’s flexibility. Almost nothing has gone according to plan thanks to the chain of events started by the pandemic. Supply chain shortages, shipping delays, labor and cost inflation, you name it. Once we learned it would take more than a year for the main kitchen appliances to arrive, […]

Ruby’s room is in a separate wing of the house than the other two girls’ rooms. Some background: I learned the original owners who built Stagg Mountain Modern designed the kids’ wings by girls rooms and boys rooms.

Because of that, the bedroom/bathroom wing is daylight and doesn’t feel like a basement at all. If you remember what this […]

Not every room will be finished when we move into Stagg Mountain Modern. In fact, much of the house will be what’s called “white boxed”, or have white painted sheetrock, flooring, and simple finishes until we make them a priority. Anna and Vive’s bedrooms fall into this category, so I’ve come up with a soft […]

It’s been a bit since we talked through the plans for a space in Stagg Mountain Modern. We’ve been so swamped with construction, I haven’t had as much spare time to share the inspiration for what we are turning the home into. Today I’m sharing the inspiration for what Ruby’s room will be, and I […]

Things are starting to get real inside Stagg Mountain Modern. If you’ve been following along on Instagram (@jenniferstagg), you saw what Jon’s been up to with the kitchen ceiling demolition. He says that is the worst part of the demo. With a few of the more ambitious plans we have for this home I’m afraid […]
